Bash script to automatically copy file on USB drives when it's plugged on USB port. Used to make massive copies of files on usb drives (usb drives gifted during conference).
- Automatic launch when an USB drive is plugged in
- Automatic mount of ntfs USB drive (can be manualy changed to non ntfs partition)
- Automatic copy of a whole folder (including sub-folders, keeping the hierachy)
- Automatic notification on the desktop when copy is done (using notify-send)
- Automatic umount after copy
- Support multiple USB drives at the same time (
usbhook.shis called each time)
