I should probably rename this one as podrun since it uses podracer but actually does a run for the user each time it's executed. Below is the update I've done to the script and I did it since I like to keep tabs on how large my podcasts directory tree gets so when I want to burn I have enough CD;'s. cut here. #!/bin/bash # file: podracer.sh - front-end for podracer /usr/bin/podracer if [ -f $HOME/.podracer/tempsub ]; then rm $HOME/.podracer/tempsub fi l1=`date -R` l2=`du -hc $HOME/podcasts | tail -1` l3=$l1+" "+$l2 echo $l3 >>$HOME/podracer.log Cut here.
