Will this work?
I'm trying to check if files already exist in a directory. They have the same basename (exsyctr1), but 4 different extensions. If the files exist, then I make backups of them, then copy them from another directory ($livecomp/data) to the current one ($copycomp/data). If they don't exist, just perform the copy.

Will the script below work?

Code:
  if [ -f $copycomp/data/exsyctr1.* ]
  then
	echo "Changing to $copycomp/data/"
	cd $copycomp/data
	echo "Backing up existing files"
	cp exsyctl1.* *.bak
	echo "Copying from $livecomp/data/ to $copycomp/data/"
	cp $livecomp/data/exsyctr1.* .
  else
	echo "Copying from $livecomp/data/ to $copycomp/data/"
	cp $livecomp/data/exsyctr1.* .
  fi
