hello there, i tried it and it doesnt work Smilie
I tried to code below:

Code:
PREVLATEST=""
while [ 1 ]; do
LATEST=`ls -tr /var/Folder1/ | tail -1`
if [ "${LATEST}" != "${PREVLATEST}" ]; then
  cp "/var/Folder1/${LATEST}" "/var/Folder2/${LATEST}"
  PREVLATEST="${LATEST}"
done

I save this on a file.sh then i run it at the startup as a daemon.

Seems like nothing is happening.
any directions?
