Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Detecting incoming files without busy polling Post 302225361 by baldyeti on Friday 15th of August 2008 08:46:38 AM

Thanks for your suggestions. Fam/imon is what I had in mind but couldn't remember the acronym. HP-UX doesn't seem to have it anyway. The files will likely be uploaded via FTP. Perhaps a simple "test -r" should do (and block further processing while another program is still appending). I was hoping something more modern and efficent than polling existed in a reasonably standardised way but apparently not. Oh well...

CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE(3)				     curl_easy_setopt options				    CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE - append FTP transfer mode to URL for proxy SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, long enabled); DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If the value is set to 1 (one), it tells libcurl to set the transfer mode (binary or ASCII) for FTP transfers done via a HTTP proxy, by appending ;type=a or ;type=i to the URL. Without this setting, or it being set to 0 (zero, the default), CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3) has no effect when doing FTP via a proxy. Beware that not all proxies support this feature. DEFAULT
0, disabled PROTOCOLS
FTP over proxy EXAMPLE
TODO AVAILABILITY
Added in 7.18.0 RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if the enabled value is not supported. SEE ALSO
CURLOPT_PROXY(3), CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL(3), libcurl 7.54.0 February 03, 2016 CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE(3)
