Hi Berny,
thank you so much for the detailed instructions.
It's almost working perfectly :-)
Needs just some tweaking I think.
Ok I started the screen command like this:
screen -dmS test /bin/bash -c "/path/to/fswatch.sh"
then the first script fswatch.sh:
#!/bin/bash
fswatch -0 -Ie '.*\.*$' -i '.*\.mp4$' /path/to/folder \
| xargs -0 -n 1 /path/to/s3cmd.sh
then the second script s3cmd.sh:
#!/bin/bash
filename="$(basename "$1")"
terminal-notifier -message "s3cmd Upload '$filename' started"
s3cmd put "$1" s3://bucket/ \
| tee /path/to/logfile.txt \
| tee >(mail -s 'Upload $filename' [email protected]
<mailto:[email protected]>) \
&& /usr/local/bin/terminal-notifier -message "s3cmd Upload of
'$filename' done"
The second tee command is to get the output also in the screen terminal to see
what's going on when I attach the screen.
Now what's happening. I change a filename. xargs transfers first the old file
name (before renaming) to the script. Therefore I get the notifications upload
started and upload done for the old filename and following error from s3cmd
(also as email):
ERROR: Parameter problem: Nothing to upload.
Null message body; hope that's ok
Which is correct because the old file is not existing anymore.
Then xargs transfers the new file name (after renaming) to the script and
everything works as expected. Just the variable "$filename" in the mail command
doesn't work. The subject of the notification email is "Upload $filename".
How can I avoid that the old file name is transferred to the script?
Why does the mail command not understand $filename?
Thank you for your great help.
Wish you the best.
