Writing a search, copy and paste program
Hello,
Can some one help me by writing me the script of a program that does the following simple functions on a Linux Mint:
1. it runs in the background all the time, doing nothing except of checking if there is any external device mounted.
2. when the device is detected, it copies files with the extensions .doc .xls .jpg .avi to the destination of choice
3. after copying, it quits (it could also start ignoring the device and wait for a different one)"
Thank you
