Recursive copy to a RANDOM name
Dear Group,
after trying numerous suggestions and racking my brain I cannot manage something which seems so simple. Essentiallly, I would like to perform a recursive copy to a destination but give it a random name. I assumed (incorrectly) that the following would work: cp -r /destination_folder/$RANDOM but I only get the response: cp: missing destination file operand after `/destination_folder/19977' Can someone with a bigger brain than mine please help? Many thanks, Roki |
