Hi Cameron,
Thanks for the prompt reply. The script really help me to get an idea.
Still have some doubt here.
I have modified the script to as below. I put all the datafile name from the source directory into a file name "mydatafile", in tend to load the datafile by the ordering in the file. The data able to pick up one by one when the destination location has no data, but is not follow the sequence order in the file. How to make it read the file by order?

if [ ! -f /tmp/hs/destination/* ] && [ -f /tmp/hs/source/* ]
then
echo 'Transferring file: '$line >> seq_log
mv /tmp/hs/source/$line /tmp/hs/destination/
echo 'Transfer completed.'
else
echo 'File: '$line': loading in progress######'
while [ -f /tmp/hs/destination/* ]
do
echo '**********'
done
sleep 5
if [ ! -f /tmp/hs/destination/* ] && [ ! -f /tmp/hs/source/* ]
then
echo 'File: '$line': loading completed'

backup
BACKUP(8) System Manager's Manual BACKUP(8) NAME
backup - backup files SYNOPSIS
backup [-djmnorstvz] dir1 dir2 OPTIONS
-d At top level, only directories are backed up -j Do not copy junk: *.Z, *.bak, a.out, core, etc -m If device full, prompt for new diskette -n Do not backup top-level directories -o Do not copy *.o files -r Restore files -s Do not copy *.s files -t Preserve creation times -v Verbose; list files being backed up -z Compress the files on the backup medium EXAMPLES
backup -mz . /f0 # Backup current directory compressed backup /bin /usr/bin # Backup bin from RAM disk to hard disk DESCRIPTION
Backup (recursively) backs up the contents of a given directory and its subdirectories to another part of the file system. It has two typ- ical uses. First, some portion of the file system can be backed up onto 1 or more diskettes. When a diskette fills up, the user is prompted for a new one. The backups are in the form of mountable file systems. Second, a directory on RAM disk can be backed up onto hard disk. If the target directory is empty, the entire source directory is copied there, optionally compressed to save space. If the target directory is an old backup, only those files in the target directory that are older than similar names in the source directory are replaced. Backup uses times for this purpose, like make. Calling Backup as Restore is equivalent to using the -r option; this replaces newer files in the target directory with older files from the source directory, uncompressing them if necessary. The target directory con- tents are thus returned to some previous state. SEE ALSO
