find and copy file to another directory..
Hi Everybody,
i want a samll help to write a script.
i had source location with :/user/bin (bin contains subdirectories with like names emails etc and had several files in each subdirectory)
and target location with :/usr/scripts (having same subdirectories names and had some files)
Now i have to write a script that copies the files in to the source subdirectory to target directory by putting a timestamp infront of the file name (like 20081022_saomename.txt) .
If i passed the directory name as argument to the script it should search in the respective directory and copy files from source to the respective target direcoty with timestamp file name.
otherwise if called the script it must copy all the subdirectories and files to target Location.
Thanks in advance.

create_makefile
CREATE_MAKEFILE [FIXME: manual] CREATE_MAKEFILE
NAME
create_makefile - Creates Makefile.in and Makefile from a Makefile.am
SYNOPSIS
create_makefile [relativepath/Makefile] [relativepath]
DESCRIPTION
create_makefile creates the Makefile.in and Makefile in a subdirectory containing a Makefile.am. This script saves time compared to
re-running configure completely
Note that you must supply the path to the desired MakefileMakefile.am (though the final /Makefile may be omitted).
This script may be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing configure) or from one of it's subdirectories.
If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the environment variables below), it will be assumed that the
Makefile.am and Makefile.in belong beneath the source directory and that the Makefile belongs beneath the build directory.
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
ENVIRONMENT
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
OBJ_SUBJDIR
Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is
kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.
OBJ_REPLACEMENT
A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is
~/src/kdesdk and the build directory is ~/src/kdesdk-obj, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
