hi all,

i attach a link with what im trying to do automatically via script but i have some questions i need answering please, bear in mind i am really new to bash scripting, the only thing i know how to do is commands in scripts like cd rm tar rsync cp stuff like that

i have mutiple project folders in the "to_be_archived" folder ie

batman
superman
hulk
spiderman
iron_man
etc etc...

so it makes a tar file of the folder, rsyncs tar file to another folder "archived_projects" and deletes the tar file and folder in "to_be_archived"

my example i just did a test with a untitled folder to check to see if it works and it does

i want it to -

do all folders in the list and not just one specific folder, so once it does the 1st one it does the 2nd one so on so forth

i want to check before it deletes the folder and tar file in the (to_be_archived) i want to double check if it has rsynced the whole file across to (archived_projects)

cheers,

rob
