Shell: Select all
find /volume1/complete -type f -size +100M -mmin -60 -print -quit-size +100M ... find files larger than 100 megabytes
-mmin -60 ... find files less than 60 minutes old
-quit ... quit with at least 1 file has been found
e.g. bash script that will run filebot only if find found a recently modified large file:
Shell: Select all
if find /volume1/complete -type f -size +100M -mmin -60 -print -quit | read
then
filebot-node-task 0
fi
Note that find returns with Exit Code 0 / TRUE regardless of whether or not any files have been found. We use | read to check if find has produced any output and return Exit Code 0 / TRUE or Exit Code 1 / FALSE to make our if-condition work correctly.
If you are using Synology Download Station and want to process newly completed files near real-time (as opposed to running filebot once a day at midnight which is recommended) then you can use the find command (because find is very fast and lightweight) to quickly check if a filebot call is in order. You can then have Synology Task Scheduler run your task every hour to check for new files, and call filebot only if and when needed.
