I'm curious if anyone in the Fink community is aware of any useful
cdrecord scripts that would allow one to "burn" a document at a time to
a CD-R or similar media in the DVD arena -- without first creating a
disk image using mkisofs?
It would be nice to have a "smart" daemon running 24x7 that would
monitor a directory for newly-arriving files into that directory (such
as if someone was remotely ftp'ing a document to a designated ftp
receptacle directory on a server such as an Xserve) ... and when a file
arrives, it would be automatically copied on-the-fly (as a backup
process) to a CD-R using the cdrecord tool (assuming the file size
would not exceed the maximum size of the recording media). It would be
nice to not need to use mkisofs for running the extra step of disk
imaging a directory and its contents (because this takes processing
time and also because in certain applications, its nice to be able to
back up to CD or DVD in near real-time instead of waiting for a
directory to "fill up" to a certain collective file size such that
mkisofs is maximizing the size of disk images such that space is not
wasted on the back up media (CD or DVD).
Reading through the cdrecord man pages, there a indeed numerous
switches and options (such as -multi to handle multiple sessions in SAO
mode, etc.). Perhaps there are some scripts using cdrecord in use among
the community here that have been GPL'd?
