I’m sorry for the lack of… and wrong information… and my English language. This has worked in the past is what I mean. I also should mention this is on Mac.

1. I think it is Perl. On top of script is #!/usr/bin/perl.
2. After updating the app and corresponding files in Library/Application Support/”Program Files Folder” the program, when it starts, will move the newer files to Users/Library/Application Support/”Program Files Folder”. My program is Swedish localized and for some reason, the program doesn’t update files in user’s directory. Probably a Unicode problem. The Installer script guy working for the American Company, which makes the program, helped me with this workaround script and the function is to back up the older version of the updater’s newer files in a backup folder placed on the desktop and then delete them in the User’s dir. The program then install’s new files. There are more features of the script including one that you helped me with before, 02-21-2016 (Installer issue | Unix Linux Forums | OS X (Apple)) Here is a list of what the script does:
# Move user's files so app will update those files
# Create Desktop shortcut for Swedish Menu Commands Document
# Create Desktop shortcut for Swedish Meta Tools Document
# Create a Audio Units Support folder
# Check to see if the installer's rewire bundle needs to be installed.
# remove the temp support folder in either case.
# Create a "Favorite Plug-ins" folder
# Finale activation file
# Reset the QuickLook Server and clients' generator cache
# Register our Spotlight component
# Write a receipt for this component (for updaters)

3. It doesn’t backup and deletes User files in order for the app to install the new ones.
4. No messages.
5. Everything else is working.

Thank's

rmm

rmm(1)							      General Commands Manual							    rmm(1)

NAME

       rmm - remove messages (only available within the message handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS

       rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-help]

OPTIONS

       Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       The default settings for this command are:

       +folder defaults to the current folder msgs defaults to the current message

DESCRIPTION

       The rmm command deletes the current message from the current folder.

       You can specify messages and folders other than the current ones by using the +folder and msgs arguments.

       The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

       If you have defined a component rmmproc: in your file, then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program to
       delete the file.

       The rmm command removes messages by renaming the message files with a preceding comma. Many sites consider files that start with a comma to
       be a temporary backup, and arrange for cron(8) to remove such files once a day.

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path: To determine your Mail directory

       rmmproc: Program to delete the message

FILES

       The user profile.
