to copy and repeat
Hi All,
I have done some looking at other threads but haven't found quite what I am looking for. I am a newbie to scripting and haven't got to where I want to you but here is my basic question. I have a script to copy a file and send it to another file with a date and time stamp. What I want to do is to be able to repeat this command within the script to happen every 30 (or 45 or 60) minutes. I have looked at doing a cron job but want more maual intervention to start and stop the script. So I am looking to just have the commands in the script repeat itself after a sleep. Here is the script I have so far:

#! /bin/sh
for i in `ls sband_log_error`
do
mv $i labfiles/int/sband/$i$(date +%F-%T)
done

Thanks,
falcondown01

sane-sp15c(5)						   SANE Scanner Access Now Easy 					     sane-sp15c(5)

NAME

       sane-sp15c - SANE backend for Fujitsu ScanPartner 15C flatbed scanner

DESCRIPTION

       The  sane-sp15c	library  implements  a	SANE  (Scanner Access Now Easy) backend which provides access to the Fujitsu flatbed scanners.	At
       present, the following scanner is known to work with these backend:

	      Vendor:  Model:		Rev:
	      -------- ---------------- -----
	      FCPA     ScanPartner 15C	1.01

       The ScanPartner 15C driver supports lineart (1-bit), halftone (1-bit), grayscale (4-bit and 8-bit), and color (3 x 8-bit) scanning.

       Other scanners in these families may work.  The ScanPartner 15C seems to be a repackaging of the ScanPartner 600C.  People  are	encouraged
       to try these driver with the other scanners and to contact the author with test results.

CONFIGURATION

       A  modest effort has been made to expose the standard options to the API.  This allows frontends such as xscanimage to set scanning region,
       resolution, bit-depth (and color), and enable the automatic document feeder.

AUTHOR

LIMITATIONS

       Testing limited to a Linux 2.2.5 kernel
       Can't quite get the scan page/minute performance in ADF modes.  This may be due to limited system buffer size.

BUGS

       I'm sure there are plenty, and not too well hidden, but I haven't seen them yet.
       Both scanners claim to have separate control of resolution in X and Y directions.  I confess I haven't tested this yet.	I have found  that
       xsane doesn't even display this capability.
       Threshold settings on the SP15C don't seem to affect the results of lineart mode scans.
       It  might  be possible to merge these two drivers without much effort since the SP15C driver was derived from the M3096G driver.  They were
       split so as to keep the second driver development from breaking the working first driver.  Watch this space for changes.
