Re: Problems

Hi,

Thanks for getting back to me, and for the work on such a useful tool.
After some rethinking I got around my issue as I realised I needed entries
for each dir so I just entered the directory name instead of calling the
variable. I have however run into another issue.

This is my current incrontab

/RAID/TV/American\ Dad/Season\ 4 IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/American\ Dad/Season\ 4
/RAID/TV/Californication/Season\ 2/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Californication/Season\ 2/
/RAID/TV/CSI\ NY/Season\ 5/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/CSI\ NY/Season\ 5/
/RAID/TV/Desperate\ Housewives/Season\ 5/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO
tvrenamer.pl --folder=/RAID/TV/Desperate\ Housewives/Season\ 5/
/RAID/TV/Dexter/Season\ 3/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Dexter/Season\ 3/
/RAID/TV/Entourage/Season\ 5/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Entourage/Season\ 5/
/RAID/TV/Family\ Guy/Season\ 7/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Family\ Guy/Season\ 7/
/RAID/TV/Fringe IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Fringe
/RAID/TV/Heroes/Season\ 3/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Heroes/Season\ 3/
/RAID/TV/House/Season\ 5/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/House/Season\ 5/
/RAID/TV/My\ Name\ Is\ Earl/Season\ 4/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO
tvrenamer.pl --folder=/RAID/TV/My\ Name\ Is\ Earl/Season\ 4/
/RAID/TV/Numb3rs/Season\ 5/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Numb3rs/Season\ 5/
/RAID/TV/Supernatural/Season\ 4/ IN_CLOSE_WRITE,IN_MOVED_TO tvrenamer.pl
--folder=/RAID/TV/Supernatural/Season\ 4/

It works great when I first edit or start crontab, but after a few hours if
just stops working. the incrond proccess is still running but nothing
happens when I move or copy a file into the folder. If I restart incron it
all works as expected again, but once again after a number of hours it stops
processing.

There are no errors being reported, syslog shows the normal activation when
it's working, no errors, then when it's stops working it shows nothing at
all in syslog.

The partition I am monitoring is NTFS, I am mounting it read/write using
ntfs-3g, not sure if that might be causing problems.

Regards,
Beau
