i see where your coming from Don and yes this would be easier but our operators, dont really know anything about command line terminology and there like old dogs (cant teach an old dog new tricks)

im doing this to make my life alot easier for myself ie so all they have to do is move thier project folders "to_be_archived" and once in there it will wait 10 minutes and if that project folder hasnt been modified in 10 minutes it will then tar/rsync and remove it

this is my final draft

Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /vol/cha-work/to_be_archived/audio/auto_archive/
for dir in */

        do DIR=$(basename "$dir")

        MailAddress="robertw@molinare.co.uk"

        if find "$DIR" -mmin -10 | grep '.' ; then
                mail -s "Modified $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "$DIR failed has been modified within the last 10 minutes"
        continue
        fi

        if ! tar -cf "$DIR".tar "$DIR" ; then
                mail -s "tar failed $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "creating of tar $DIR failed due to error, removing $DIR.tar"
                rm -f "$DIR".tar
        continue
        fi

        if [ -f /media/ARCHIVE/archive_now/audio/"$DIR".tar ]; then
                mail -s "duplicate exists $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "$DIR.tar already exists"
                rm -f "$DIR".tar
        continue
        fi

        if ! rsync -a "$DIR".tar /media/ARCHIVE/archive_now/audio/ ; then
                mail -s "rsync failed $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "rsync of $DIR failed due to error, removing $DIR.tar"
                rm -f "$DIR".tar
        continue
        fi

        if ! rm -f "$DIR".tar ; then
                mail -s "remove tar failed $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "removing of tar $DIR failed due to error"
        continue
        fi

cd "$DIR"
date >> /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
echo -n  "Folder to be archived = " >> /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
pwd >> /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
echo -n  "Number of files =       " >> /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
find . -type f | wc -l >>  /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
echo -n  "Size in GB =            " >> /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
du . -s -B 1G >>  /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
echo " " >>  /vol/cha-it/it/archive_details.txt
cd ..

        if ! rm -rf "$DIR" ; then
                mail -s "remove folder failed $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "removing of $DIR failed due to error"
        continue
                else
                mail -s "success $DIR" $MailAddress <<< "successfully completed archiving $DIR"
        fi

        done

locale::codes::script

Locale::Codes::Script(3)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				  Locale::Codes::Script(3)

NAME

       Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification

SYNOPSIS

	  use Locale::Codes::Script;

	  $script  = code2script('phnx');		      # 'Phoenician'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician'); 	      # 'Phnx'
	  $code    = script2code('Phoenician',
				 LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC);	      # 115

	  @codes   = all_script_codes();
	  @scripts = all_script_names();

DESCRIPTION

       The "Locale::Codes::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.

       Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
       four-letter codes will be used.

SUPPORTED CODE SETS

       There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
       that is automatically exported by this module.

       For example, the two are equivalent:

	  $script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
	  $script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);

       The codesets currently supported are:

       alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
	   This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician.  It also includes additions to this set
	   included in the IANA language registry.

	   The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.

	   This is the default code set.

       num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
	   This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.

ROUTINES

       code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
       script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
       all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
       all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script  ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script  ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script  ( CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_alias	( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_alias  ( NAME )
       Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script_code  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_code_alias  ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
       Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_code_alias	( CODE [,CODESET] )
	   These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
