Thanks in advance for any advice
I'm working on an fswatch command to launch a script when files hit the Downloads folder.
fswatch --event Created Downloads/ | (while read x; do echo $x | xargs -0 bash ./dlsort.sh; done)
The script is working as intended. The issue I'm having is (I expect) coming from the (while read x; bit:
The problem is that dlsort.sh is getting called twice for each download. Since the first run of the script moves the file, I'm getting a "No such file or directory" error on the second run. It's not a big deal, since the file makes it where it's supposed to go, but I'm mostly working on this project to teach myself more about bash/scripting, so I'd like to figure out what I'm misunderstanding about this command.
EDIT: adding dlsort.sh
if (echo "$1" | grep -q '\.jpg$'); then
mv "$1" Desktop/targdir/
else
mv "$1" Downloads/
fi
