Fsniper is a directory monitoring software that actively scans selected directories for any newly created files.
Many people find this program very useful, particularly when they want to create a single drop directory for files coming from various sources. With the help of semi-intelligent scripts, users can easily manage and sort the files according to their preferences. The only catch is that you must write the scripts yourself – so you need some basic programming skills.
Installing fsniper is relatively easy: you just need to run the following commands – "./configure make sudo make install". Once you have installed it, you will need to create a configuration file named "config" in ~/.config/fsniper/ before using it.
For those who need guidance, the program comes with a sample configuration file called example.conf. You can use this as a reference to create a custom configuration file that suits your needs. Overall, fsniper is a great tool for anyone who needs to keep track of new files in a set of directories and take specific actions based on certain criteria.
