LinuxHotFolder

I realized LinuxHotFolder for give Linux folders where you can put files, whithout could after read or modify them.

Whith LinuxHotFolder and Netatalk you have an effect like Apple's systems hotfolders.

This example olnly copy files in a different directory, implementing it you could associate other actions to files, printing them with lpr, transform format from pdf to postscript whith ghostscript, ecc..

LinuxHotfolder not need Netatalk for work, anc could create hotfolder directly on Linux's filesystems, wich could be condivided with Samba, Nfs, ecc..

LinuxHotFolder is a bash script that use commands that you can found in any Linux system.

Program:

This script must be runned demonized with a & at the command's name end and must run with root privileges for guarantee fuser command correct functionement.

If you copy on the target folder a file that exist before the old file is renamed prepending actual hhmmss_ , be aware that netatalk 1 not work with files longer than 31 characters.
