This script monitors a directory, unzips files larger than a specified size (X GB), processes them, and deletes the zip files when finished. Originally developed for use with Torrent Safe downloads, this script automates file management tasks with minimal user intervention.
While the script isn't polished or fully developed, it is functional and achieves the following tasks:
- Monitors a directory for downloaded files.
- Automatically unzips and processes files.
- Renames, moves, and cleans up files after processing.
I personally use this script to monitor a download folder on a server. Using my phone, I download video files via Torrent Safe. Once the files are downloaded via HTTPS to the server, this script automatically handles the unzipping, processing, and cleanup.
- This script is designed to be simple and specific to certain needs. It may require modifications for your use case.
- Contributions via pull requests (PRs) are encouraged to enhance functionality or improve implementation.
- The script is a quick solution for a personal need, so it's not fully optimized or robust for all scenarios.
You can adapt this script to suit your own requirements, such as:
- Setting thresholds for file size to trigger unzipping.
- Adjusting the directory monitoring behavior.
- Integrating additional processing or organizational steps.
I hope this script helps someone with a similar need. Feel free to share your improvements!
