Here's the dos batch code. I note that in my original post that I failed to mention that the original files I am working with also get moved off to an archive, unmodified. There's never a filename conflict because each original file has a date name ( s082607.log, etc ). I've explained each step in the process. I have no doubt this dos batch could be more efficient but I am no dos batch pro. The script did work correctly for over 3 years in both NT4 and Win2K. It just doesn't run under wine NT4 or Win2k emulation even though the drive and directory layouts remain the same. Perhaps the wine cmd interpreter doesn't like the code or something.

Code:
:::: Find all logs except most recent ::::
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%a in ('dir /a-d /b /o-d "d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\*.log" ')

:::: Append a text header message to each found file and copy to a temp dir :::::
do copy d:\buzzard\scripts\addon.txt+d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\"%%a" d:\buzzard\temp\sendlogs\s-series\"%%a"

::::: Rename modified files :::::
ren d:\buzzard\temp\sendlogs\s-series\*.log *.101

::::: Move the modified files to a mail queue for future delivery ::::
move d:\buzzard\temp\sendlogs\s-series\*.101 e:\promail\queue\

::::: Move originals - except most recent - off to an archive :::::
for /f "skip=1 delims=" %%b in ('dir /a-d /b /o-d "d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\*.log" ') do move d:\buzzard\logs\s-series\"%%b" "f:\buzzard\logs\s-series\

qmove

qmove(1B)								PBS								 qmove(1B)

NAME

       qmove - move pbs batch job

SYNOPSIS

       qmove destination job_identifier ...

DESCRIPTION

       To move a job is to remove the job from the queue in which it resides and instantiate the job in another queue.	The qmove command issues a
       Move Job batch request to the batch server that currently owns each job specified by job_identifier.

       A job in the Running , Transiting , or Exiting state cannot be moved.

OPERANDS

       The first operand is the new destinationfor
	   queue
	   @server
	   queue@server
       See the PBS ERS section , "Destination Identifiers".

       If the destination operand describes only a queue, then qmove will move jobs into the queue of the specified  name  at  the  job's  current
       server.

       If the destination operand describes only a batch server, then qmove will move jobs into the default queue at that batch server.

       If  the destination operand describes both a queue and a batch server, then qmove will move the jobs into the specified queue at the speci-
       fied server.

       All following operands are job_identifiers which specify the jobs to be moved to the new destination.  The qmove  command  accepts  one	or
       more job_identifier operands of the form:
	   sequence_number[.server_name][@server]

STANDARD ERROR

       The qmove command will write a diagnostic messages to standard error for each error occurrence.

EXIT STATUS

       Upon successful processing of all the operands presented to the qmove command, the exit status will be a value of zero.

       If the qmove command fails to process any operand, the command exits with a value greater than zero.
