launchd problem

[Michal]

I have very strange launchd problem. I wrote a small script which watching folder and if anything is added to this folder, it copy the file via SCP to different machine and than move the file to another folder. The script looks like following:

[i]#!/bin/bash

in=~/Desktop/in
remote=”[email protected]:/path”
out=~/Desktop/out

OLDIFS=$IFS
IFS=”$(echo -e \”\\n\”)”

for i in $(find $in -type f)
do

IFS=$OLDIFS

scp “${i}” “${remote}”

IFS=$OLDIFS

if [ $? = 0 ];
then
mv “${i}” “${out}”
fi;
done

IFS=$OLDIFS

exit 0[/i]

I have also launchd .plist for it like follows:

Label
upload
ProgramArguments

/Users/user/script

QueueDirectories

/Users/user/Desktop/in

RunAtLoad

It works perfectly locally. Unfortunately, when I run it on remote host and connect to shared drive via AFP and try to copy file from my computer to “watched folder” I got following error:

[url]http://hera.divshare.com/files/2007/05/31/797800/error.jpg[/url]

If I copy the file to any other location which is not “under review” of launchd I got no problem. Am I doing something wrong with script ? I think it looks like the launchd “lock” the folder or similar. Btw. the file named 1.pdf so “too much character” is not possible. Thanks for any comments in advance.[quote][/quote]

Without finder I tried to copy in Terminal via SCP the file to the folder and it runs correctly (including launchd script + upload). So is there problem with AFP ?

Just an quick idea. When I will copy some bigger file (e.g. 4 GB DMG), how launchd recognize the file is there complete, when it have just ? Is there any “internal” launchd check to check “close()” for the inode of file or launchd just “blindly” take file and do the script ?

Thank a lot. Working perfectly.
