Quick help needed in the Shell Script
Hiii,

i have a doubt here--
Quote:
DirCleanupList="logs tmp corefiles"
echo "$DirCleanupList" | perl -ne 'print join("\n", split(" ")) . "\n"; '
for dir in $DirCleanupList
do
BackupLocation="$BackupLocation/$dir"
mkdir -p $BackupLocation >/dev/null 2>&1
if [[ ! -d $BackupLocation ]]; then
echo "Unable to make backup directory: $BackupLocation"
continue
fi
done
I have to take backup of all the files inside directory dir(logs,tmp,corefiles) at the location $BackupLocation.i should take the backup of logs,tmp,corefiles inside the $BackupLocation directory and then remove the files and touch the files inside the directory dir(logs,tmp,corefiles).
else we can move the files from dir(logs,corefiles,tmp) to $BackupLocation then touch the file inside dir(logs,tmp,corefiles).

i appericicate your quick help.

cpanplus::shell

CPANPLUS::Shell(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					CPANPLUS::Shell(3)

NAME

       CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells

SYNOPSIS

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell; 	    # load the shell indicated by your
					    # config -- defaults to
					    # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default

	   use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic]  # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic;

	   my $ui      = CPANPLUS::Shell->new();
	   my $name    = $ui->which;	    # Find out what shell you loaded

	   $ui->shell;			    # run the ui shell

DESCRIPTION

       This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS"
       shell.

       Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic
       loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.

BUG REPORTS

       Please report bugs or other issues to <bug-cpanplus@rt.cpan.org<gt>.
