I hesitated to posted in another section, I did not know if it existed already (sorry)

When the stuff is (auto)moved in archive, mp3/movie symlink are dead, but not completely
There is already one script to recreate the symlink automatically or manual ?

example:

stuff is in:
C:\site\DIVX
C:\site\MP3

symlink for movie is in:
C:\site\SORTED\DIVX\by.Genre
C:\site\SORTED\DIVX\by.Group
etc..
and for mp3:
C:\site\SORTED\MP3\by.Genre
C:\site\SORTED\MP3\by.Group
etc...

WarChive or ioByteKiller auto-move the stuff in D:\
D:\site\archive\DIVX
D:\site\archive\MP3

Normally the symlink are dead, possible to repair them ?

ioBanana already updates the symlinks but only when you're using SITE MOVERLS.
For symlinks broken by auto archivers you can try the symlinks updaters. I'm sure it will work for mp3s and perhaps for imdb info too.

The exe browses a given dir (and all its subdirs) and updates sorted mp3/movies symlinks using the informations
stored in the .ioFTPD.banana files.

I do not use ioB :(

Hmm, indeed, i forgot it wasn't completely standalone.
Sorry but I can't think of any other script available on ioftpd.com/scripts that does what you want.
