How to dynamically create user name in perl and move the files?
Hi,

I have two problems in which i have stuck up.

a) To move the files and copy back.
b) To create user dynamically.

Question 1:

I have to move the files to some other directory and copy it when all the process is done.

I have the code like this:

Code:
$file = "/home/data/file1.txt";
$file1 = "/home/data/disk/";

system("mv $file $file1");

The problem here is i am able to move the files but again coping back is not happening. The entire directory is getting replaced.

How can i move the files from one directory to another and again copy it back to same directory?

Question 2:

I have to create a dummy user name dynamically how can i create dummy username dynamically. At present i am a root user.
How can i create dummy user name dynamically?

After creating dynamically i need to copy to this user created login and create the directory and move this file1.txt.

How can i do this in perl?

Regards

ecaccess-file-move

ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    ECACCESS-FILE-MOVE(1p)

NAME

       ecaccess-file-move - Move or Rename ECaccess Files

SYNOPSIS

       ecaccess-file-move -version|-help|-manual

       ecaccess-file-move [-debug] source-ecaccess-file target-ecaccess-file

DESCRIPTION

       Allow moving an ECaccess File. When the move occurs within the same ECaccess File System then it is a rename. When the move occurs across
       two different ECaccess File Systems then first a copy is done and then a delete of the original file is done (e.g. similar to ecaccess-
       file-copy ... -erase).

       The source-ecaccess-file and target-ecaccess-file are in the form [domain:][/user-id/]path. Please read the "Shell commands -> File
       Management" section of the "ecaccess" guide for more information on the ECaccess File System.

ARGUMENTS

       source-ecaccess-file
	       The source ECaccess File name.

       target-ecaccess-file
	       The target ECaccess File name.

OPTIONS

       -version
	       Display version number and exits.

       -help   Print a brief help message and exits.

       -manual Prints the manual page and exits.

       -debug  Display the SOAP messages exchanged.

EXAMPLES

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt ec:test2.txt

       Rename the test1.txt file in the ECFS directory of the authenticated user in test2.txt.

       ecaccess-file-move ec:test1.txt home:test2.txt

       Copy the test1.txt file from the ECFS directory of the authenticated user to the test2.txt file in the $HOME directory of the authenticated
       user, then delete the test1.txt file from ECFS.
