symlinks on subfolders
Posted: Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:17 pmHi,
My basic problem is this: I have hazel monitoring a group of folders and subfolders and whenever I create a new folder named 'paper' I want hazel to create a symlink to it somewhere else. I'm using the shell script feature instead of simply 'make alias' because many programs don't read aliases properly but do ready do read symlinks. The shell script I'm using is:
ln -s $1 /path/to/symlink
According to hazel $1 is supposed to refer to the file being processed. However every time I try it, I get an error processing the shell script. What am I doing wrong??
