Multiple stage file move?
Greetings all.
I need is a script that will move a file from one known dir to another, then grab another file from a different dir to replace it, and have absolutely zero clue how to do this. Here's what I am trying to do: A web client wants his site header image to change based on US holidays. So, a script would grab the default header jpg, move it to a different dir somewhere on the site, then grab a header that has, say, a Christmas theme, and move that into the dir where the default one was. Make sense? I could then make a cron job that exe's the script based on known holiday dates.

Your solution (you'll probably need to wrap some additional logic and error handling etc round this):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
THEMEDDIR=/export/home/httpd/themes
HTMLDIR=/export/home/httpd/htdocs
FILE=header.jpg
THEME=xmas
if [ -r $HTMLDIR/$FILE ]
then
cp -p $HTMLDIR/$FILE $THEMEDIR/${FILE}.default
cp $THEMEDIR/${FILE}.${THEME} $HTMLDIR/$FILE
fi
Code:
#!/bin/sh
HTMLDIR=/export/home/httpd/htdocs
FILE=header.jpg
if [ -r ${HTMLDIR}/${FILE}.$1 ]
then
rm -f ${HTMLDIR}/${FILE}
ln -s ${HTMLDIR}/${FILE}.$1 ${HTMLDIR}/${FILE}
else
echo "$1 version of $FILE not found!"
exit 1
fi
Where theme is something like 'xmas' or 'default' etc. Them just have a copy of the header.jpg file for each theme (eg header.jpg.xmas), including the plain one called header.jpg.default. Run this script to switch to whatever one you need.
