Trigger is a simple yet effective tool for triggering events between systems. With asynchronous notification capabilities, it provides a lightweight way to set off actions and events within and between systems.
One of the key features of Trigger is its ability to create live backup trees using a tool known as Glastree. This feature is often referred to as the "poor man's daily snapshot". With Glastree, users can build live backup trees, complete with branches for each day. This makes it easy for users to browse through past versions of documents and retrieve lost files.
To help reduce file size, Trigger uses hard links to compress out unchanged files. At the same time, it copies modified files verbatim. This ensures that users always have access to the most up-to-date version of their files without using up unnecessary amounts of storage space.
One of Trigger's other useful features is its prune utility. This helps to maintain a constant, sliding window of data, ensuring that users always have access to the most relevant and up-to-date information.
To use Trigger, you will need to have LinuxThreads and C++ installed on your computer. The installation process is relatively straightforward, requiring users to edit install variables in the Makefile and then run the 'make install' command as root.
Overall, Trigger is a highly useful tool that offers a range of features designed to help businesses and organizations work more efficiently. Whether you need to retrieve lost files or maintain a constant stream of up-to-date information, Trigger is a tool that is well worth considering.
