incrontab is not triggering with end of cron sh invokes

  • 772

I have this incrontab, which is monitoring the master Directory to check if the event occurs where a new file is placed here ... and run the php file.

/var/www/html/docs/int/master IN_MOVE php /var/www/html/shscript/work.php

I have a crontab that runs every one minute, and invokes the execution of a .sh file, the content of this SH is to copy the txt files to the Master directory that is in the previous incrontab (that work well):

cd /mnt/test1/int/master
cp *.txt /var/www/html/docs/int/master

The probllem:

when the cron is end of run (copy is successfull), but the icron is not triggering, no detecting event like: IN_MOVE, IN_MOVED_TO; but if i change the event to: IN_MODIFY ; Work well and execute the php file; but i not need to run the php file on modify event i need run it if the file is succefull copy. I do not know what I'm doing wrong.
