Download Processing Folder

[louis077]

It would be great if to turn on a script to auto extract archives placed in a certain directory. I currently have to ssh into mine every time to do it. I know you can get do it from the web portal but I think this takes longer.

Synology has this feature I'm shocked asustor hasn't come up with something similar.

I have an question, why you need to manage a download file which is not completed?

[louis077]

archive files such as tar,rar and etc. These files are complete, just need to be verified and extracted. Asustor already has the required programs built into the server, just need to automate it.

Hi
I think not everyone need extracted files, such as me...
I will use file explorer to do this....

You are missing the point, as usual, crazynas. Part of the draw to using a downloading application is that these applications can many times be automated to do the extraction of zipped, rarred, tarred, gzipped, etc. files when the download is complete.

Asustor's Download Center is one that doesn't include the functionality. Other apps, especially in other Linux distros can do this automatically. They delete the unwanted/unneeded files, leaving you with the part of the download you really wanted to begin with. The rarred files are deleted as a part of the automation.

Life is a lot easier not having to wait on these files to be extracted, and not wading through the scores of added files that always seem to make their way into any downloads.

I might try a sad attempt at writing my own using the Bourne Shell this weekend. I'll post if I can get it working.
