From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

systemd path unit questions (feddit.de)

Hello together. I try to use a systemd path unit, to monitor a directory structure. But as of now, I was only successful for the top level directory. The unit should be triggered, if a new file is written to either the top level of the monitored directory and also, if there is a new file in any of its subdirectories. I don't know how to do that. Any ideas?

Additionally, the triggered service unit should be delayed for some time. Background is, that I automatically upload sometimes more than one file in a batch. So I will give the script triggered by the service unit the chance, to wait until the upload of all files is finished, so that I can work with all the new files with one script call, instead of multiple calls for every file. Is that possible?
