[scriptassist.pl] Move scripts to autorun directory when symlinks are not supported

[mataha]

I have an irssi session on which symlinks are not supported.

Whenever I update my scripts via /scriptassist update all and restart my session later, those updated scripts are not ran automatically at startup. Trying to do this by hand doesn't work as well:

/scriptassist autorun adv_windowlist.pl
>> Unable to create autorun link

Obviously, what's happening under the hood is:

$ pwd
/home/users/mataha/.irssi/scripts
$ ln -s adv_windowlist.pl autorun
ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘autorun/adv_windowlist.pl’: Operation not supported

Right now I'm using an ad lib bash script to move (updated) scripts manually into autorun directory whenever I perform an update, but I feel this could be integrated into scriptassist itself.

which system does not support symlinks o_O?

[ailin-nemui]

note, we are probably going to solve this in Irssi through /set script_autorun somehow

which system does not support symlinks o_O?

$ lsb_release -i
Distributor ID: Debian

That's not Debian's fault, though; the chief offender is:

$ df -T | grep --max-count=1 "$HOME" | tr -s ' ' | cut -d' ' -f2

That's horrible, there must be a better way

the same in a other way
faq.txt Q: How do I execute commands automatically at startup?

[bw1]

with a script in alpha state

scriptassist2

/run scriptassist2
/set scriptassist2_autorun_link off
/scriptassist2 autorun trackbar
...
$ echo "/script load scriptassist2.pl" >> .irssi/startup
