Thank you yinyuemi! So output goes to the files and then I can chmod +x "clean_up" and run it. This is exactly what I needed to do. A few questions in follow up.
Can you break down your code or point me to somewhere I can look to get an explanation? I have been perusing forums and how-to's and googling and had no luck. I was obviously looking for the wrong thing.

Could this be done without creating files? It's not a huge deal. I can add a few lines for clean-up at the end of the script to remove these. It's really more of a "can it be done" question.
Thanks again!
