Before I fully make the switch to Linux I’m looking for options to replace an old Windows program called SCRU. You set a folder to watch, and an output folder and it automatically copies specified extensions or extracts rar into the output folder.
I’m trying to figure out if there’s a way to do this in terminal and haven’t dug into scripts yet, just want to know of it’s possible.

It shouldn’t be that hard. Use Shellcheck to check for mistakes. Good luck!

You can throw stuff like that into perplexity.ai as a starting point (it’s free):

You can then continue to ask about stuff you want to understand. It’s a great learning tool.
