I am fairly computer literate & have some knowledge of UNIX scripts from the past......
I have been a windows/PC user forever, but bought a Mac laptop a year ago after my PC laptop broke....brilliant decision!
Anyway, I use external hard-drives to back up my large digital library of photographs....I use a windows batch file located on the hard drive that runs automatically when I plug it in the USB port on the PC....it works perfectly.
I am wanting to ditch the PC, and move to MAC completely, but I still need to be able to have the ability to plug in a USB drive, it copy the desired directories I wish to it.
How do I get a script located on the USB drive to automatically run when I plug in a USB drive?
I actually have no idea where to start! I can figure out the 'cp' comands myself, but getting the script to 'call' in the firstplace I am lost.....!
