Thread: Automatic Conditional File Transfers


my first post, hope question comes across clear... in advance...

want minimize use of usb external hdd using/transferring files when internal hdd hits predetermined free space size. question: there program monitor 24/7 , move files/folders based on preset conditions?

sure. *nix @ this. problem is, you'll need research , figure out how write bash script , add cron job.

now, can't write script (i don't know exact configuration), following commands may helpful:

df - gives amount of free space available. see man df
bash's if-statement. see http://tldp.org/ldp/bash-beginners-g...ect_07_01.html

cp -copy files , folders.
