How to automatically move files from lists to a specified folder?

Question

linux

How to implement this idea It is necessary that the script looks into the folder (for example, root/server) and if a file from the specified list appears in the folder (for example, test.cs), it automatically moves the file to the specified directory (for example, root/server/test)

Answer 1

I don’t really remember the python, but if I’m not mistaken, then so

import os, shutil
#path_1 и path_2 - путь
if str(os.listdir(path_1)).find("test.cs"):
    shutil.move(path_1 + "text.cs", path_2)

Answer 2

I won’t tell you on python, on node.js you can do this:

const fs = require('fs'); 
fs.readdir(folderName, function(err, files) {
    if (err) {
       // обработка ошибки
    } else {
       if (!files.length) {
           // каталог пустой
       } else {
          // каталог содержит файл
          const oldPath = 'old/path/file.cs'
          const newPath = 'new/path/file.cs'

          fs.rename(oldPath, newPath, function (err) {
              if (err) throw err
                 console.log('Файл перемещён')
              })
        }
    }
});

Also, if there is a need to check the directory in auto mode, you can use cron
