[fuse-devel] Run external script from FUSE

[Ron S. <du...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I am new to FUSE and I am trying to extend an existing costumized FUSE
file system written in C.

To begin with, I would like to call an external script which gets a
filepath as an input argument and then executes an operation on that
file. To keep it simple, lets say this is a shell script which copys the
file into another folder.

This script should be called at the end of the "release" function. My
code looks like this:


int myfs_release(const char *path, struct fuse_file_info *fi)
{
    int retstat = 0;

    retstat = close(fi->fh);
    
    char command[1024] = "/home/rs/copyscript.sh ";
    strcat(command,path);
    system(command);

    return retstat;
}



The problem is that this does not do anything (e.g., when I copy a file
into the mounted folder) with the file referenced by "path". I am sure
that the copyscript works correctly and the input arguments are also
correct.

Does this even work or am I on the wrong track?

Thanks.

Greetings,
Ron
