Code:
#!/bin/bash

inc_log()
{
for file in $man_log
do
    (( count++ ))
cp $man_log $man_log$count
done
}

count=$((count + 1))
man_log=/home/user/manager.log

        if [ -s "manager.log" ]; then

        inc_log

        echo "finished"
fi
exit

but it only increments once. So

Code:
./script
manager.log1
./script
manager.log1
./script
manager.log1

?
