[support] How to run a script when a node is added for a custom module

[Gordon Heydon]

Hi,

the best approach is to use hook_nodeapi() http://api.drupalecommerce.org/api/function/hook_nodeapi/6 to trigger the update, and the you can exec() the script or even use the ssh2 extension to communicate directly with the other server. Or you could write a script that will monitor a directory and do something like the cdn module to move transfer the file.

I am looking through the Drupal API at the moment. I also want to run an ffmpeg command as well when the node is added to encode the media for storage on the rtmp server.
