I'm looking for a way to simply move movies from one user share into another. I have one user share for "Movies to Edit", and once I am done editing the details and grabbing fanart, I move them into a different user share for XBMC to access.

 

Up until now, I have been using telnet to move the files. I would love to have a batch file on my laptop or a script inside unRaid that would do this for me.

 

Unfortunately, I am a programming idiot, and would only serve to screw this up badly. So, if anyone is feeling philanthropic, your help would be sublimely appreciated.

 

Regards,

Matt

If you want to use a bat you should check out robocopy.

 

Ex:

Robocopy x:/edit y:/xbmc /move /s

 

Check http://ss64.com/nt/robocopy.html

 

If your running unmenu you can add your script in it so you just press a button.

Example:

 

Create a file on your flashdrive that contains the following:

 

#!/bin/bash
mv -b /mnt/cache/.Transmission/incomming/* /mnt/user/Incomming
chown -R nobody /mnt/user/Incomming
chgrp -R users /mnt/user/Incomming
chmod -R 770 /mnt/user/Incomming

 

Then add the following to your GO file:

 

cp /boot/config/Empty_Flash /etc/cron.daily/Empty_Flash
chmod +x /etc/cron.daily/Empty_Flash

 

This will make sure that the files in /mnt/cache/.Transmission/incomming/ get moved to /mnt/user/Incomming on a daily basis.

 

Does that help ?

 

Should you want to run this hourly or weekly then use cron.hourly or cron.weekly instead.

 

Thank you guys!!

Between Hellow's idea of making an unmenu user script and Helmonder's code, I put together exactly what I was after. You guys rock.

 

I created a user script unmenu_user_script_Move_Movies

inside of which I have

#define USER_SCRIPT_LABEL Move to Movies

#define USER_SCRIPT_DESCR This will move everything from the user share Movies to Edit to Movies

#define USER_SCRIPT_RELOAD 10

#!/bin/bash

chown -R nobody /mnt/user/Movies\ to\ Edit

chgrp -R users /mnt/user/Movies\ to\ Edit

chmod -R 770 /mnt/user/Movies\ to\ Edit

mv -b /mnt/user/Movies\ to\ Edit/* /mnt/user/Movies

 

You guys rock.
