I hadn't heard of watch before, so thanks! watch *started* to work really well, but then went into a terminal sulk after the FS disappeared during a scan, and refused to show any updates. It's also an interactive program, so doesn't pipe or notify changes in any useful way. I suspect I'll just have to go with William Park's suggestion of using rsync to a local folder that I have more control over. I still have to correct for the scanner FS's wandering clock, but that's less important. cheers, Stewart --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
