If I recall incron details correctly, you get multiple entries in your log because you run your script multiple times at different events: IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_NO_LOOP
Your other question: You see "create" in your log because that is what your echo command puts there in your script. -Tomas On Nov 17, 2017 11:47 AM, "Denis Heidtmann" <denis.heidtm...@gmail.com> wrote: I have pursued Tomas' advice to use incron to automatically send files written by the win2k print driver to the printer. I have everything down to one issue. To test, I have a simple script (intest.sh) that just sends the event responded to to a log file: #! /bin/bash # test of incron echo "tes1 create " $1 >> /home/denis/incronlog.log The incron table is: /home/denis/win2kfiles/Print_files IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_NO_LOOP /home/denis/scripts/intest.sh $# The resulting log is: tes1 create test12 tes1 create test12.PLT tes1 create test12.PLT tes1 create test12.PLT It generates multiple entries for one file added (i.e., one print command). I added IN_ONESHOT to the incrontab: /home/denis/win2kfiles/Print_files IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_ONESHOT,IN_NO_LOOP /home/denis/scripts/intest.sh $# I still got multiple entries in the log. Questions: Why does the log not say "close" instead of "create"? Why four entries? What might the result be when the script intest.sh is replaced by one that prints and deletes the files? Will it be called 4 times in rapid succession? Any suggestions for testing further?
