Doing date delta can be done in many languages, but for shell the easiest is the GNU date (which you can add to your system, perhaps as a user local executable) or you can search here for my tool tm2tm.c and compile it.
I some situations, you can "touch marker_file ; sleep 300 ; find ... -newer marker_file ....", for instance if you want to poll a subtree every 5 minutes. If you want to avoid double reporting:
I am uploading files that need to be processed prior to uploading. I will put the files in a directory. My question is how can I write an easy process to kick off a script once a file has been added? Is there an easy way to determine if a file has been added to a directory?
Thanks (1 Reply)

tpctl
TPCTL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual TPCTL(8)NAME
tpctl -- touch panel calibration utility
SYNOPSIS
tpctl [-D dispdevname] [-d devname] [-f filename] [-hnuv]
DESCRIPTION
tpctl is a touch panel calibration utility. tpctl calibrates a touch panel and saves and restores the calibration parameters into/from a
parameter database file.
Available command-line flags are:
-D dispdevname Specify display device name.
-d devname Specify touch panel device name.
-f filename Specify alternate parameter database file name.
-h Print brief description.
-n Do not change the parameter database file.
-u Force calibration. Without this flag, tpctl won't do calibration if the database file already contains parameters for the
touch panel.
-v Verbose mode.
You calibrate the touch panel the first time you run tpctl. If you see a cross cursor on the screen, you should tap the center of the cursor
to calibrate the touch panel, or you can abort the calibration with the 'ESC' key. Five cursors will appear on the screen in turn. Once
calibration is done, tpctl saves the calibration parameters into the database file and uses the saved parameters to calibrate the touch
panel.
You can run tpctl automatically with /etc/rc.d/tpctl.
FILES
/etc/tpctl.dat The default calibration parameter database file. The -f flag may be used to specify an alternate database file name. tpctl
will create an empty database file if it doesn't exist.
/dev/ttyE0 The default display device, which is used to display the cursor during calibration. The -D flag may be used to specify an
alternate display device name. The display device must provide the 'hpcfb' interface as defined in
/usr/include/dev/hpc/hpcfbio.h.
/dev/wsmux0 The default touch panel device. The -d flag may be used to specify an alternate touch panel device name.
SEE ALSO rc.conf(5)BUGS
tpctl isn't available on all ports because it requires a display device which provides the 'hpcfb' interface.
