Running the script with the pushnew argument results in the following
error from find:
find: unknown predicate `-maxdepth 2'
I'm thinking this is also related to my usage of subprocess? I just
started carving this out right now so I'm still debugging but if anyone
sees anything obvious I would appreciate it.
Your linkNew list doesn't have separate items for each argument to find.
The first example is that "-maxdepth" and "2" should be separate list
items. The only other spot I notice is the -exec item, which should be
distinct from the following.
I don't understand why you have things like '%s' % musicDir, when
musicDir is already a string. That list item should be just musicDir,
which would read much better.
I separated the maxdepth argument with '-maxdepth', '2', seems and now
it is focusing on the exec portion which i'm trying to figure out how to
separate and make it sane as far as single/double quotes go.
Can you elaborate on what you mean regarding the musicDir variable? I
have a loadDir which specifies where the symlinks reside but the actual
root of the media directory is /opt/data/music and it's organized via
directories based on genres which is why I am specifying musicDir
instead of loadDir for this function
