Thanks for the quick response.
I don't know the syntax yet and don't know how it works, but would it be something like:
If cron (thursday 8 pm) then
mv [source dir][file] [dest dir]
Else
mv [dest dir][file] [source dir]
??
Or do like two separte scripts? one for moving/renaming the file if it's time to go down and another one to again moving/renaming the file when it's time to go up?
Thanks.
