Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting How to copy files from one location to another based on a priority? Post 302864481 by vikramgk9 on Wednesday 16th of October 2013 02:56:52 PM

Yes Carlo.Thanks for the quick response.The old files are being periodically removed.Once the file is copied is to the target location, they should be deleted.
Further, the file is the trigger to the script.
For some reason if the four files do not come on mon-thu and on fri if all 5 files come at once they should be sent based on the priority described above.
can this be done please?

DH_INSTALLUDEV(1)						     Debhelper							 DH_INSTALLUDEV(1)

NAME
dh_installudev - install udev rules files SYNOPSIS
dh_installudev [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--name=name] [--priority=priority] DESCRIPTION
dh_installudev is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing udev rules files. Code is added to the preinst and postinst to handle the upgrade from the old udev rules file location. FILES
debian/package.udev Installed into lib/udev/rules.d/ in the package build directory. OPTIONS
--name=name When this parameter is used, dh_installudev looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.udev instead of the usual debian/package.udev. --priority=priority Sets the priority string of the rules.d symlink. Default is 60. -n, --noscripts Do not modify preinst/postinst scripts. NOTES
Note that this command is not idempotent. dh_prep(1) should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts. SEE ALSO
debhelper(7) This program is a part of debhelper. AUTHOR
