Copy/move/hardlink to multiple locations

I currently have a good working script that takes a file from Deluge then hardlinks it to a directory where it's processed by pyMedusa. Is it possible to have that script hardlink or
move it to a separate, 2nd location at the same time. Here is the basic script that's executed after Deluge grabs the file(s):
Code: Select all
filebot -script fn:amc --output "/home/me/TV_Proc" --action hardlink --conflict index -non-strict --log-file "/home/me/Downloads/tv/tvShows.log" --def subtitles=en unsorted=y artwork=n deleteAfterExtract=y clean=y "ut_label=TV" "ut_dir="$torrentpath/$torrentname"" "ut_kind=multi" "ut_title="$torrentname""
This is on a seedbox so inotify isn't an option. I could probably cobble a syncthing solution but then I'd have a lot of
multiple instances of the same file, and space is a premium on the seedbox so I thought I'd inquire about this first. Any help is appreciated.

Welp, found this from 5 years ago in the search, I'm guessing it's still the case that
filebot can't do
multiple locations.
search.php?keywords=filebot+move+files+ ... +locations
Code: Select all
Re: Deliver files to multiple locations, and brackets issue
1. FileBot is certainly not doing cmdline calls to copy files, so shell isn't involved in copying ... 2. FileBot cannot move/copy/etc files to 2 locations. I'd use rsync with some "recently modified" ...

You can pass in your own shell script as rename action and then you can do absolutely anything:
viewtopic.php?t=4915
You can also use
--def exec to run a post-process command on each destination file, and then do a copy elsewhere there.
However, I would recommend a
one master / multiple mirror approach. First you organize your
files into a nice clean
{plex} master structure, and once you have that you can use
--db xattr to instantly re-process
files over and over with different
--output --format and generate all the other mirror structures you like:
viewtopic.php?t=4788

Good stuff, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick reply.
