NAME

dr_symlinks — maintain a symlink forest

SYNOPSIS

dr_symlinks

DESCRIPTION

For each pair directory/subdirectory under each word in DR_SL_TARGETS, a directory and symlink DR_SL_SOURCE/directory/symlink is created (or adjusted). The script is implemented as a wrapper around oggsymlinks, by Wessel Dankers.

EXAMPLE

If, in the configuration file $HOME/.draai/symlinksrc, DR_SL_SOURCE is set to /srv/audio and DR_SL_TARGETS is set to "../data/a ../data/b", while directories
/srv/data/a/And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead/Source_Tags_And_Codes/ /srv/data/a/And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead/The_Century_of_Self/ /srv/data/a/John_Coltrane/A_Love_Supreme/ /srv/data/b/John_Coltrane/Giant_Steps/ /srv/data/b/Tinariwen/Amassakoul/
exist, the following directories holding the following symlinks will get created in /srv/audio/ :
And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead/Source_Tags_And_Codes -> ../../../a/And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead/Source_Tags_And_Codes/ And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead/The_Century_of_Self -> ../../../a/And_You_Will_Know_Us_By_the_Trail_of_Dead/The_Century_of_Self/ John_Coltrane/A_Love_Supreme -> ../../../a/John_Coltrane/A_Love_Supreme/ John_Coltrane/Giant_Steps -> ../../../b/John_Coltrane/Giant_Steps/ Tinariwen/Amassakoul -> ../../../b/Tinariwen/Amassakoul/
All dangling symlinks and empty directories (if any) under /srv/audio/ will get removed. This script is idempotent.
