July 29, 201114 yr Hi, I recently built a unRAID server, and I have some questions. I tried looking on the forums, but can't seem to find the exact answers. Is there a way to move videos older than like 30 days from one folder to another folder every week within a user share? Can the mover used for the cache drive be used for this? Or, is there another way like cron jobs? I tried looking at the torrent plugins available, and it doesn't seem like any of them have RSS torrent downloading support yet or don't seem easy to set it up. Also, I am currently running uTorrent on my desktop and downloading directly to a user share with cache drive. Does this have any disadvantages or harm to the server? I noticed some things related to uTorrent on the forums and the wiki, but it doesn't seem like it is usable yet with unRAID. Is there any new development with using uTorrent on unRAID? Thanks in advance.
July 29, 201114 yr I think you'd have to make a script that'd do a LS, grep files older than 29 days, put those into a mv command. Then Cron that script to run at allocated times. I can't script for the life of me, but that seems to be the simplest way. I'd google 'mv file age bash' to find out what is available As far as using the cache drive for torrent saving - it may mess the mover up as it tries to 'move' the files if they are currently open in a write operation. I'm not 100% sure, but any move operation can copy the file then fail to delete it if it's open. I'd make a seperate drive/folder outside the array to save them to, then a different 'move' script. (this could actually be done in windows, taskkill name utorrent, move files, start utorrent. Have utorrent 'watch' those directories and it should resume your torrent) if using utorrent on the unraid box, it'd be similiar 'pkill taskname' ... etc.
