Smart Perl script (for Linux) to auto unrar/extract a directory structure containing many RAR archives. Features: * extract multipart archives * handle all three multipart archives naming conventions ** .part1.rar, .part2.rar, ... ** .rar, .r00, .r01, ... ** .001, .002, ... * duplicate directory structure tree ** respect basedir_deep configuration option ** see http://bit.ly/dafLxF ( docs/test-data/summary.txt ) * move/rename normal files (no rar archives) * check minimum free space on device * can delete archives if extracted ok * save status to file ** so already extracted archives aren't extracted again ** trying extract again only if some change found * keypress features during run ( p...pause, c...continue, q...quit ) * smart error handling ** maintain undo actions list for recovery to initial state ** sleep (increment time to sleep) and try again ** revert to initial state if error found during extraction of directory * can be configured to run periodically (e.g. from cron) to incrementally extract RAR archives ** check if there is any change inside directory * support for rsync integration ** generate rsync exclude list (basedir_deep configuration option is used) ** check time of last modification of base directories (recursively) ** respect minimum time since last change (let rsync finish his job) * preserve mtime of files and directories where possible * has own test suite * tested on many big archives * debug and verbose output support Tested on Linux only.
