What is the OS4X Directory Scanner?
The goal of the directory scanner is to scan configured directories (without recursion) for new files (older than 60 seconds) and apply a matching pattern on them. If the pattern matches, the file will be moved to the configured outgoing directory and an executable will be started with parameters defined for this directory scanner entry, based on either fix values or dynamic ones.
The OS4X Directory Scanner is available since OS4X 3 in OS4X 3 Core.
Configuration of scanning tasks
Using the directory scanner needs some configuration via web interface and optionally in addition on the filesystem (if you really want to modify the behaviour more deeply).
Menu entry
The menu entry "Dir.scanner" in the administrative web interface exists if the binary
os4x_ds_dryrun
exists in the installation directory for binaries of OS4X.
Clicking on that links shows you the actually configured directory scanner entries, with an empty view in the default installation.
You can click on "New" or the empty paper icon to create a new entry. In order to edit an entry, click on the edit icon.
