in [General Linux]

From: Andre on 3 May 2010 18:31 Hi all, I'm looking for a ftp server with macros support. i.e. when a remote user have uploaded one or more files our ftp server, the server runs an action as send email to a determinated recipient. Thank You Andrea

I'd use my favorite ftp server's logging facilities together with a log watcher (e.g. swatch)... -- mrg

I'd use a cron shell script to examine the ftpd log file and take the desired action.

The most configurable FTP server is probably proFTP. You may be able to put something together using the mod_rewrite <http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Rewrite.html> capability of proFTP plus another custom daemon process which monitors a directory of files or custom log file. It also has an SQL module, so you may be able to do something via a process monitoring an SQL database. Or perhaps you could embark on writing a module for proFTP which does exactly what it is you want to do?

Isn't that a log watcher? :-) The advantage of a standalone log watcher is _constant_ monitoring the data being appended to the given log file (think of tail -f) and taking action immediately. A cron script would run at regular intervals (which may introduce undesired delays) and probably would have to analyze the whole log file every time. And another advantage of log watchers is that they are already there, ready to be used... :-) -- mrg
