Honestly: i don't know. You gave a roundabout description of your requirement and i wrote a roundabout solution. To really implement this you will need to specify in much more detail what your requirement is.

For instance (one of the things needing clarification): what should happen after taking the server offfline? Wait for some time and put it online again? (If yes: how long would be "some time"?) Do nothing and leave it offline?

Another detail needing clarification: what is meant by "send file(s)"? Transfer it with scp/rcp/rsync/ftp/sftp/or the likes? Socket communication? Anything else?

In any case: what i wrote was pseudo-code, which just shows a possible logic and control flow of a program which has to be implemented. To actually implement it you need to select a programming language first which you want to use (i.e. "bash" or "Korn Shell" or "perl" or "ruby" or "python" or "whatever else you might want to use, version 3.141596", etc..

I hope this helps.

rcsfreeze

rcsfreeze(1)															      rcsfreeze(1)

NAME

       rcsfreeze - freeze a configuration of sources checked in under RCS

SYNOPSIS

       rcsfreeze [name]

DESCRIPTION

       rcsfreeze assigns a symbolic revision number to a set of RCS files that form a valid configuration.

       The  idea is to run rcsfreeze each time a new version is checked in.  A unique symbolic name (C_number, where number is increased each time
       rcsfreeze is run) is then assigned to the most recent revision of each RCS file of the main trunk.

       An optional name argument to rcsfreeze gives a symbolic name to the configuration. The unique identifier is still generated and	is  listed
       in the log file but it will not appear as part of the symbolic revision name in the actual RCS files.

       A log message is requested from the user for future reference.

       The  shell  script  works  only	on  all RCS files at one time. All changed files must be checked in already. Run rcsclean(1) first and see
       whether any sources remain in the current directory.

RESTRICTIONS

       rcsfreeze does not check whether any sources are checked out and modified.

       Although both source file names and RCS file names are accepted, they are not paired as usual with RCS commands.

       Error checking is rudimentary.

       rcsfreeze is just an optional example shell script, and should not be taken too seriously.  See CVS for a more complete solution.

FILES

       version number log messages, most recent first
