Ok, Here it goes. I have several file in a directory that I want to copy to another directory and append the date to the end of the file. I do not want to zip the I just need a copy. I would like the script to ask the user before copying each file in the directory to keep from making unneeded copies.This is what I have:
Code:
cd ${PACKAGE_HOME}/km/cfg/
echo " Do you wish to back-up file.cfg ?"
echo -n "Enter Y or N: "
read YN
if [[ $YN == y || $YN == Y ]];
then
cp file.cfg ${PACKAGE_HOME}/km/cfg/OLD/file.cfg.`date '+%Y%m%d'`;
echo " Copy Complete "
fi
echo " Do you wish to back-up file2 ?"
echo -n "Enter Y or N: "
read YN
if [[ $YN == y || $YN == Y ]];
then
cp file2 ${PACKAGE_HOME}/km/cfg/OLD/file2.`date '+%Y%m%d'`;
echo " Copy Complete "
fi
echo " Do you wish to back-up file3 ?"
echo -n "Enter Y or N: "
read YN
if [[ $YN == y || $YN == Y ]];
then
cp file ${PACKAGE_HOME}/km/cfg/OLD/file3.`date '+%Y%m%d'`;
echo " Copy Complete "
fi
I would like to do this with one command instead of listing each file like this:
Code:
cd ${PACKAGE_HOME}/km/cfg/
echo " Do you wish to back-up files.cfg ?"
echo -n "Enter Y or N: "
read YN
if [[ $YN == y || $YN == Y ]];
then
cp files.cfg ${PACKAGE_HOME}/km/cfg/OLD/files.cfg.`date '+%Y%m%d'`;
echo " Copy Complete "
fi
I would also like to be able to use this on other databases with minor changes. Is this possible?

sticky
STICKY(7) BSD Miscellaneous Information Manual STICKY(7)NAME
sticky -- sticky text and append-only directories
DESCRIPTION
A special file mode, called the sticky bit (mode S_ISTXT), is used to indicate special treatment for directories. It is ignored for regular
files. See chmod(2) or the file <sys/stat.h> for an explanation of file modes.
STICKY DIRECTORIES
A directory whose `sticky bit' is set becomes an append-only directory, or, more accurately, a directory in which the deletion of files is
restricted. A file in a sticky directory may only be removed or renamed by a user if the user has write permission for the directory and the
user is the owner of the file, the owner of the directory, or the super-user. This feature is usefully applied to directories such as /tmp
which must be publicly writable but should deny users the license to arbitrarily delete or rename each others' files.
Any user may create a sticky directory. See chmod(1) for details about modifying file modes.
HISTORY
A sticky command appeared in Version 32V AT&T UNIX.
BUGS
Neither open(2) nor mkdir(2) will create a file with the sticky bit set.
