Hi guys, I currently have a Ubuntu Server set up that I'm using as a media server. I have movies and music that transfer over to the server in a general "downloads" folder. Then I move the folders over to the respective areas, Music files to the music folder, Videos to the video folder, etc. I get tired of manually moving folders and would like to automate this task a bit. I don't have much experience writing shell scripts, but I started writing a bash script for this task, but alas, it doesn't work! Here is what I have so far:
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!
#!/bin/bash CWD='pwd' clear echo "Starting..." cd /home/glen/downloads ls -l for directory in /home/glen/downloads do for file in directory do if [ "${file}" == "*.mp3" ] || [ "${file}" == "*.flac"] then cp directory /home/glen/Music else if [ "${file}" == "*.avi" ]||[ "${file}" == "*.mkv" ]||[ "${file}" == "*.mp4" ] then cp directory /media/sdb/Videos fi echo "Finished!" cd $CWD done
If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful!
