Recursively copy only specific files from a directory tree
Hi
I am a shell-script newbie and am looking to synchronize certain files in two directory structures.
Both these directory-trees are in CVS and so I dont want the CVS directory to be copied over.
I want only .sh and .pl files in each subdirectory under these directory trees to be synchronized.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks

I need to copy a huge directory with thousands of files onto another directory but without *.WMV files (and without *.wmv - perhaps we need to use *.).
Pls advise how can I do that.

CVSCHECK(1) [FIXME: manual] CVSCHECK(1)
NAME
cvscheck - Offline status report for files in a checked-out CVS module.
SYNOPSIS
cvscheck [dir]
DESCRIPTION
cvscheck prints information about the status of your local CVS checkout without communicating with the server. This means it is extremely
fast and does not require a network connection.
The given directory and all of its subdirectories will be processed recursively. If no directory is given, the current directory and its
recursed subdirectories will be used.
Each file with an interesting status will be printed with a status character in front of its name. The status characters are as follows.
? foobar.c
The file is not known to CVS
M foobar.c
The file is definitely locally modified
m foobar.c
The file might have local changes. You should diff with the server to make sure.
C foobar.c
The file has a CVS conflict and therefore cannot be committed.
U foobar.c
This file is in CVS but is missing in your local checkout.
T foobar.c
This file has an unusual sticky CVS tag.
A foobar.c
You have done a cvs add for this file, but have not yet committed it.
R foobar.c
You have done a cvs rm for this file, but have not yet committed it.
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
