[Zope-dev] Re: External File addBatch question

[Craeg Strong]

Yes.  I think the manage_addBatch should do it.
We will probably set this up for ourselves pretty soon,
and update the docs with an example.

The syntax should be something like this

folder.manage_addProduct['ExternalFile'].manage_addBatch(
   target_dir='c:\my\dir',basedir='',recursive='yes')

See if that works.  Of course, you could bundle that
in a PythonScript and then call it via wget from the
command line, something like this:

wget http://myhost.com/myscript?dir=c:\my\dir

I have not checked either of the above for syntax (sorry!)

and then have cron call wget on regular intervals.  This 
is a (very) poor man's auto filesystem-ZODB synchronization mechanism.

When the time comes, this will be superceded by apelib
and/or zope3 filesystem synch functionality.
