I'm not sure how to get a script to do that. Here is what I want to to in detail.
We have a number of transmitter sites. We are putting raspberry pi with Rivendell at each site to run localized Id's for that station. They are in one cart in the panel on rdairplay. We use a Dropbox.com folder on the computer linked to our FTP server. A Rivendell Dropbox then imports them into that cart. When we want to change ids we just want to put them in the appropriate folder on the server and let Rivendell Dropbox overwrite the existing ones. The goal is to automate this so it is easy to swap out each stations ids for new ones in the same cart. There are dozens of stations, so I don't want to go in each one and delete the current cart or the cuts. The cart needs to the same, since a script fires it to play the same one. Hope I haven't muddied the waters with that explanation. What's the best way to do this. It should work to delete the cart with a script or by some means, then when the dropbox imports new cuts to the specific cart, it recreates it with only the new cuts in it.
