Command line instructions on Minimwatch
Hi, sorry if this already exists and I have missed it.
Why do I want it? Well - and I am not an expert here - I use a simple routine on my Mac PC which I use to transfer files. I will explain my process: I rip CDs &c to an external hard drive, "Don6Tb". This acts as my backup and where I modify and update metadata. I then use a *.sh file on my desk top to transfer the new and modified FLACs to my NAS, which happens to be a Melco, but the system, using rsync would work to any storage device. So my *.sh file is ================================ #!/bin/bash rsync -avh --progress /Volumes/Don6Tb/MAIN/ /Volumes/share/MAIN 2> ~/Desktop/rsyncErrorsMELCO.txt ================================ Volumes/Don6Tb/MAIN/ is where I keep my music collection on my hard disk, and Volumes/share/MAIN is my NAS (Melco). The last bit ~/Desktop &c simply creates an errors file. Never seems necessary. Now it would be nice to be able to add to my *.sh file something like: ================================ open /Applications/Minimwatch.app/Contents/ blah blah rescan /Volumes/share/MAIN ================================ This would mean that my NAS (Melco) would be automatically updated every time I added a file to it. At the moment I have to remember to run Minimwatch - Rescan after adding files. A similar process could be developed by Windows users using a batch file and XCopy. Sorry for being out of my depth but it would be nice to add this. Certainly the rsync routine works brilliantly and quickly. Cheers Donuk sunny downtown York |
