Want to backup dirs on application start and close.
Hi
I want to write a script that will back up one directory if a certain application launches and then backs up another directory if that same application is closed down.
NFI where to start. It seems like cron isn't the tool for this because that is time based. I'm thinking I need something that is constantly running in the background looking for the process to begin/end, or, something in the applications own directory that is triggered when it runs/closes.
Any prod in the right direction greatly appreciated, also, ELI5.

deploytool
deploytool(1m) Application Server Utility deploytool(1m)
NAME
deploytool - launches the deploytool utility to deploy, package, and edit your J2EE applications
SYNOPSIS
deploytool [--help] [--userdir user_directory] [--configdir configuration_directory]
Use the deploytool utility to deploy and package your J2EE applications and components, create and edit J2EE deployment descriptors, and
create and edit J2EE Application Server specific deployment descriptors. If the application is not J2EE compliant, an error message is dis-
played.
Only one session of the deploytool utility can run with a specific user directory. A lock file is created to ensure that only one utility
session is running. A message is displayed if a lock file is detected.
OPTIONS
--help displays the arguments for launching the AssemblyTool.
--userdir identifies the user directory. The default user directory is .deploytool under your home directory. Only one
deploytool session can be running per user directory. A lock file is created under the user directory to ensure
that only one session of the deploytool is running. The deploytool utility uses this directory to store configura-
tion information.
o On Solaris, the default directory is at ~/.deploytool
--configdir identifies the configuration directory. The configuration directory is where the asenv.conf file is located.
On Solaris the asenv.conf can be found at:
o Bundled installation: /etc/appserver
o Unbundled installation: default is /etc/opt/SUNWappserver7 or user specified
o Evaluation installation: AS_SERVER_INSTALL/config. Where AS_SERVER_INSTALL is the directory where you have
installed the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.4 Application Server Beta 2.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using deploytool
example% deploytool --userdir /myapplication --config_dir /myconfigdir
Where --userdir specifies the destination directory, and -config_dir identifies the configuration directory.
