I have made a simple script to zip a file then first copy it to a specific directory using cp command then move it to another directory. Files are getting generated at regular intervals in the dir. /one/two/three/four/. I have entry of my script in cron to run after every 2 min.
Problem:
All zip files in the directory /one/two/three/five_archive are as expected but the files generated in the directory /one/two/three/five/ sometimes(randomly time interval in 4 to 10 days) have zero size and owner and group of the files are also gettnig changed to root. Permission also getting changed to 400 from 644.
No idea why this is happenning randomly, After every random number of days we are reported issue with file permission, owner, grop getting changed for few files.
Have anyone experienced same issue ever. Is there some issue with cp command. Any help would be highly appreciated.

whereis
whereis(1) General Commands Manual whereis(1)Name
whereis - locate source, binary, and or manual for program
Syntax
whereis [-sbm] [-u] [-SBM dir... -f] name...
Description
The command locates source/binary and manuals sections for specified files. The supplied names are first stripped of leading pathname com-
ponents and any (single) trailing extension of the form ``.ext'', for example,``.c''. Prefixes of ``s.'' resulting from use of source code
control are also dealt with. The command then attempts to locate the desired program in a list of standard places.
Options-S dir
Search for source files in specified directory.
-B dir
Search for binary files in given directory.
-M dir
Search for manual section files in given directory.
-b Searches only for binary files.
-f Terminates last directory list created from use of -S, -B or -M flags and signals the start of file names.
-m Searches only for manual section files.
-s Searches only for source files.
-u Searches for files that do not have one of binary, source or manual section files. A file is said to be unusual if it does not have one
entry of each requested type. Thus ``whereis -m -u *'' asks for those files in the current directory which have no documentation.
Examples
The following finds all the files in which are not documented in with source in
cd /usr/ucb
whereis -u -M /usr/man/man1 -S /usr/src/cmd -f *
Restrictions
Since the program uses to run faster, pathnames given with the -M -S and -B must be full. That is, they must begin with a ``/''.
Files
/usr/src/*
/usr/{doc,man}/*
/lib, /etc, /usr/{lib,bin,ucb,old,new,local}
