delay_copy.sh
The idea: A script that copies files from an attached USB flash drive to the SDcard after
a delay, allowing the user to unplug the keyboard or mouse and plug in the USB drive.
The detail: See
http://www.raspberrypi.org/?page_id=43&mingleforumaction=viewtopic&t=152.0
The task: Write the script. Make it bullet proof.
Automatic, no delay solution

▪ Download devmon (http://igurublog.wordpress.com/downloads/script-devmon/) .
▪ Start a daemon with
▪ devmon --no-gui --exec-on-drive "cp -r /directory/to/copy/each/time
%d;devmon --unmount-recent;echo Copy complete, safe to remove |
wall"

▪ "rsync -ac /directory/to/copy/each/time %d" might be better suited to transfer the
files to the card.
▪ "sync" to flush the buffers afterwards couldn't hurt either
▪ Each time a usb key is added, the daemon will automatically copy the folder,
unmount the disk and send a message to all connected local/ssh terminals.
udev could also be used.
