→Updated script for Greyhole users
Some apps used by Amahi are used to download files etc. Often we want these files to end up in our shares. Let's say that SickBeard is used to download TV episodes. You then have to configure SickBeard to place your new episode somewhere. A logical place is to save to the landing zone of your Greyhole share which could be ''/var/hda/files/TV''. There are two downsides to this though.
* Greyhole is not notified of the fact that a file is added and only discovers it and makes it available in your share after a ''fsck'', which could take a long time.* Files deleted through apps in this folder don't register a ''delete'' event that Greyhole can pick up and thus only the symlink in the landing zone is removed. The actual file copies remain in on disc. Similarly users running Plex Media Server for example will have issues if the clients are allowed to ''delete contents'' and the server is configured to work on the landing zone. I described this issue when packaging Plex a long time ago here: https://wiki.amahi.org/index.php/Plex_Media_Server
