Network Dropbox Script

Submitted by mark on Sun, 2008-11-02 04:31

Here's a script I cooked up for my home network. You may adapt it to yours as you like. All of my PCs are Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex.

#!/bin/bash
## Folder Dropbox script
## Written on the toilet by Mark LaCore

##
## Sources and Destinations
##
SRC=/net/Dropbox/*
DST=/home/mark/Dropbox
##
## This bit will create a file notifying you of the sync's status.
##
rm $DST/in_sync
touch $DST/in_progress
rsync --delete $SRC $DST
rm $DST/in_progress
touch $DST/in_sync

My nfs mounts are in /net, and I have a folder in /home called Dropbox that this script rsyncs from my parent server into.
