thanks for the quick response. So should the code look something like this:

Code:
if [ $# != 1 ]
   then
      echo "Usage: saferm  -l  (or a filename)" >&2
      exit 1
fi



if [! -d ~/.saferm]
   then
       mkdir ~/.saferm
       
fi

if [ "$1" == "-l" ]
   then
    ls -l ~/.saferm

else

 mv $1 ~/.saferm

fi

and would that be the correct way to move the file to the saferm directory?

hobbitcgi.cfg

HOBBITCGI.CFG(5)						File Formats Manual						  HOBBITCGI.CFG(5)

NAME

       hobbitcgi.cfg - Command-line parameters for the Xymon CGI tools

SYNOPSIS

       $BBHOME/etc/hobbitcgi.cfg

DESCRIPTION

       hobbitcgi.cfg(1) controls the commandline options passed to all of the Xymon CGI tools through their respective shell-script wrappers. Typ-
       ically the options listed here are used for system-wide configuration of the CGI utilities, e.g. to define where  they  read  configuration
       files.

       The exact set of commandline options available are described in the man-page for each of the CGI utilities.

       The file is "sourced" into the shell script wrapper, so assignments to the CGI-specific variables must follow standard shell-script syntax.
