Ok so i took into account what you siad about rsync and managed something but now i want to finish what i started...after redefining what i need to do to myself i came to the following:
This is what i need processFolder() to do :P
Code:
#process folder(folder) {
# for all the entreies in this folder
# if current_thing = file
# if file existis on client
# if size is no same
# flag error
# else
# OK
# else
# flag for deletion
# elif current_thing = dir
# process folder(current_thing)
# elif
# error - not file or folder
# fi
#}
And this is what i currently have....
Code:
#!/bin/sh
processFolder() {
while ($BF_VAL="1") do
if [ -f $BF_VAL ]
then
echo "file"
else
echo "dir"
fi
}
echo "Initilising variables"
#CF = Client File
#BS = Backup Folder
#D = Dry-run
CF_ARG=0
CF_VAL=
BF_ARG=0
BF_VAL=
D_ARG=0
parseArgs()
{
while [ $# -gt 0 ]
do
case "$1" in
-d) D_ARG=1;;
-c) CF_ARG=1; CF_VAL=$2; shift;;
-b) BF_ARG=1; BF_VAL=$2; shift;;
?) printHelp;;
*) echo "$1 not an option"; printHelp;;
esac
shift
done
}
printHelp()
{
echo "Usage: ./test-v2.sh -d -c [filename] -b [folder location]"
echo ""
echo "-d = Dry-run."
echo " ie. Run through the program as normal but only output a file with
the changes that could be made."
echo ""
echo "-c = Client File input."
echo " ie. Supply the location and name of the previously generated client
file list."
echo ""
echo "-b = Backup Folder Location."
echo " ie. Supply the location of where the backup is currently stored."
}
# main starts here
parseArgs $*
echo "Reading client file " $CF_VAL
echo "Reading backup folder " $BF_VAL
processFolder $BF_VAL
Any furthur input on this? ASAP but i know you all have lives

echo
echo(1B) SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands echo(1B)NAME
echo - echo arguments to standard output
SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/echo [-n] [argument]
DESCRIPTION
echo writes its arguments, separated by BLANKs and terminated by a NEWLINE, to the standard output.
echo is useful for producing diagnostics in command files and for sending known data into a pipe, and for displaying the contents of envi-
ronment variables.
For example, you can use echo to determine how many subdirectories below the root directory (/) is your current directory, as follows:
o echo your current-working-directory's full pathname
o pipe the output through tr to translate the path's embedded slash-characters into space-characters
o pipe that output through wc -w for a count of the names in your path.
example% /usr/bin/echo "echo $PWD | tr '/' ' ' | wc -w"
See tr(1) and wc(1) for their functionality.
The shells csh(1), ksh(1), and sh(1), each have an echo built-in command, which, by default, will have precedence, and will be invoked if
the user calls echo without a full pathname. /usr/ucb/echo and csh's echo() have an -n option, but do not understand back-slashed escape
characters. sh's echo(), ksh's echo(), and /usr/bin/echo, on the other hand, understand the black-slashed escape characters, and ksh's
echo() also understands a as the audible bell character; however, these commands do not have an -n option.
OPTIONS -n Do not add the NEWLINE to the output.
