Real Time Monitoring BASH Script

[Guest plexman]

I've modified a bash file monitoring script that I found here to update the library when a file changes in the given directory.

 

So the script sends a curl request to update the Emby library when detects a change in any file inside the given path, it also works with files inside sub-directories. Thanks also to this post for the curl request. You just have to change de path and add your Emby API key to the curl link. The script runs every minute but this can be changed in the end where the sleep command is. To run it in the background you just have to execute the command:

nohup /root/watch_emby.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 &

This is for all linux users who don't have Real Time Monitoring. If you also want you can change the cmd variable to execute something else than the library update.

 

Enjoy!
