I am a beginner with just basic understanding of programing. I am trying to enable a script that would copy certain files each time USB memory is mounted.
I am using OSMC version of kodi.
As i understand, there are two ways to do this, udev rules and systemd service. I have went for the systemd as it was suggested as better somewhere and it did seem simpler.
What i have done so far
1. Created trigger.sh
Code: Select all
#!/bin/sh
cp /media/Jet/{video01.mkv,video02.mkv,video03.mkv} /home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/video
2. I have created unit copy.service in /etc/systemd/system
Code: Select all
[Unit]
Description=My flashdrive script trigger
Requires=media-Jet.mount
After=media-Jet.mount
[Service]
ExecStart=/home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/video/trigger.sh
[Install]
WantedBy=media-Jet.mount
4. enabled service with sudo systemctl enable copy.service
Now, executing the trigger.sh itself works and the files are copied to the desired folder with no problems.
Mounting the usb does something, but does not copy files.
Here is the result of systemctl status copy.service
Code: Select all
osmc@osmc:~$ systemctl status copy
* copy.service - My flashdrive script trigger
Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/copy.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2018-07-25 13:24:01 CEST; 1s ago
Process: 841 ExecStart=/home/osmc/.kodi/userdata/video/trigger.sh (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Main PID: 841 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)

Jul 25 13:24:01 osmc systemd[1]: copy.service: Unit entered failed state.
Jul 25 13:24:01 osmc systemd[1]: copy.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
Also worth noting is that the location of the files is not important. I have chosen this one as it is the home of playlists folder, but it can be changed to any other location.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
