Way to set folder_rescan_interval in linux?

[Datapotomus]

Is there a way to set it in linux? I didn't see anything in the conf file that would let me set it.

You'll need to add it to your config file.

We can generate a sample config file by doing 

./btsync --dump-sample-config > sync.conf

But what do we need to write in that file to set the folder_rescan_interval setting?

I'd also like the config file to allow Restore modified files to original version.

Seems like the documentation for using a config file is fairly limited.

all,

 

This is a param of a first level. Here is a sample config for it:

 

{   "device_name": "Mint CONF",  "listening_port" : 0,                       // 0 - randomize port    "storage_path" : "/home/test/BTSync1367/.sync",  "check_for_updates" : true,   "use_upnp" : true,                              // use UPnP for port mapping  "webui" :  {    "listen" : "0.0.0.0:8888",    "login" : "admin",    "password" : "password"  },  "folder_rescan_interval" : 567,  "shared_folders" :  [    {      "secret" : "xxx",      "dir" : "/home/test/use",      "use_relay_server" : true,      "use_tracker" : true,       "use_dht" : false,      "search_lan" : true,      "use_sync_trash" : true    }  ]}

Thanks for the input, let's start the learning:

 

a conf file with only this:

{   "folder_rescan_interval" : 2000000000,}

gives 

Error while parsing config file: parse error: invalid object key (must be a string)          scan_interval" : 2000000000, }                      (right here) ------^

I really like all the other default values, so I would like to provide a minimalistic conf file,

 

What is the minimum needed, and what are the default values of those minimums

a conf file with only this:

{   "folder_rescan_interval" : 2000000000,}

gives 

Error while parsing config file: parse error: invalid object key (must be a string)          scan_interval" : 2000000000, }                      (right here) ------^

 

That will indeed give an error, as it's not valid JSON syntax.

 

You'd need to remove the "," at the end of the line. A line should only end with a "," if there are further name/value pairs to follow, therefore, the last name/value pair should not end with a ","

Ok,

then second hurdle

{   "folder_rescan_interval" : 2000000000}

To use BitTorrent Sync you should specify shared directories in config file or enable Web UI or API, or enable built-in tracker

What's the default for this? And how to specify it in the config file?

The default folder_rescan_interval value is 600.
