a hobby project: generate a rss feed based on recent file changes in a directory. But I thought this can also have many applications …
Yeah after searching on the arch wiki, I guess systemd timers, not services, are specifically what I was interested in, thanks!
does lsblk detect the device?
After some suggestions to check out inotifywait I ended up with a solution that works for me as desired.
inotifywait --event modify,create ./targetfolder/; echo "new change, that I am interested in, occurred in targetfolder";
It turned out I was interested in both file modification and file creation events.
I do not need to install anything/can work on bare install without internet connection?
On the upside, you do not need to install the inotifywait package. md5sum already installed on my system haha
meta: I know such questions have been asked before on stackoverflow; but lets bring them to fediverse as well (I hate stackoverflow web-design, google pop-ups, and javascript). I noticed there are always multiple ways to do such things in Linux. I think some options are very popular, while others go unmentioned (by LLMs for example). Also on different linux distributions there are different options available as far as I understand.
I really like this, replace compile with whatever command you desire I guess.
can you check lsblk command output, while the device is plugged in? does it show up there?
If it does, try to use the mount command to mount it from the terminal manually.
for shell scripting where python needs to call a lot of bash, xonsh is a good alternative. https://xon.sh/
My first simple use case: I want to start a http (
busybox httpd) server on localhost inside a certain directory whenever I turn the PC on.
