A simple script to sync put.io using rclone

putio_sync.sh

#!/bin/bash

### Add to crontab to run this script every 5 minutes:
### */5 * * * * /home/ryan/Desktop/putio_sync.sh

### Logfile location
logfile=/home/ryan/Desktop/putio_sync.log

echo "$(date '+%Y/%m/%d %T') INFO  : Starting sync" >> $logfile

### Check if an rclone sync process is already running and bail if true:
number=$(ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -ci rclone)
if [ $number -gt 0 ]
  then
    echo "$(date '+%Y/%m/%d %T') INFO  : An rclone sync is already in progress: Aborting" >> $logfile
    exit 1
fi

### Sync Put.io root directory, excluding the /Seeding directory:
/usr/bin/rclone sync putio:/ /home/ryan/Desktop/media/putio \
  --exclude /Seeding/** \
  --auto-confirm \
  --transfers 2 \
  --log-file $logfile \
  -v
