• I know we can have one profile run after another profile using Execute Command or Script before/after.... If I have two profiles both set to run every 30 minutes, sometimes one profile will take longer. So how can I tell the 2nd profile to pause/wait until the first profile is done running.
• In Linux, how can I have it monitor files/folders for changes and run after 30 seconds, instead of running on set schedule?

please see the "OnCanRunProfile Sample Script" on our PascalScript page:
https://www.syncovery.com/pascalscript/

Folder Monitoring is not available in the Linux version of Syncovery because Linux does not provide a suitable API for recursive monitoring.

There's only non-recursive, and that's not great. I may be able to find a solution some time in the future.

const p1='Profile Name 1';
      p2='Profile Name 2';
      p3='Profile Name 3';
      p4='Profile Name 4';

function OnCanRunProfile(const ProfileName:UnicodeString; var PostponeBySeconds:Integer):Boolean;
begin
    if ProfileName=p1 then
        Result:=not ProfileRunning(p2)
    else
        if ProfileName=p2 then
            Result:=not ProfileRunning(p1)
        else
            if ProfileName=p3 then
                Result:=not ProfileRunning(p4)
            else
                if ProfileName=p4 then
                    Result:=not ProfileRunning(p3)
                else
                    Result:=true;
    
    if not Result then
        PostponeBySeconds:=60;
end;
