I've written a patch to samba 2.0.2/3 that adds a new share parameter to samba named 'closed command' that is similar in functionality to 'print command', but works on file shares. If a share has a 'close command' specified, then the given command will be run when a client closes a file. It takes the standard macro substitutions in addition to %s (or %f) to pass it the filename. This can be used to create a file share that is a drop off point for files that need some kind of automated task run on them. A readme is available at http://www.reac.com/samba/samba-closecmd.README and the patch is at http://www.reac.com/samba/2.0.2/samba-closecmd-2.0.2.diff Questions and comments can be directed to me at thwartedefforts@wonky.org.
