OR'ing condition in script
Hi,

I have the following requirement. I am building a product on linux. The final build executables and libraries are all in different directories. I am writing a release script to collect all these final build items into a directory in /home/$USER/release.

I have the following condition:

Code:
if [ -f $DEVMGR/$FILE -o -f $DEVMGRCONSOLE/$FILE ] ; then

Now I need to copy which ever above file is present to /home/$USER/release. Both conditions will never be true at any time. Only 1 will be. How do I incorporate that ?

Your inputs please.

Vino

chcon

CHCON(1)							   User Commands							  CHCON(1)

NAME

       chcon - change file security context

SYNOPSIS

       chcon [OPTION]... CONTEXT FILE...
       chcon [OPTION]... [-u USER] [-r ROLE] [-l RANGE] [-t TYPE] FILE...
       chcon [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Change the security context of each FILE to CONTEXT.  With --reference, change the security context of each FILE to that of RFILE.

       -h, --no-dereference
	      affect symbolic links instead of any referenced file

       --reference=RFILE
	      use RFILE's security context rather than specifying a CONTEXT value

       -R, --recursive
	      operate on files and directories recursively

       -v, --verbose
	      output a diagnostic for every file processed

       -u, --user=USER
	      set user USER in the target security context

       -r, --role=ROLE
	      set role ROLE in the target security context

       -t, --type=TYPE
	      set type TYPE in the target security context

       -l, --range=RANGE
	      set range RANGE in the target security context

       The  following  options	modify how a hierarchy is traversed when the -R option is also specified.  If more than one is specified, only the
       final one takes effect.

       -H     if a command line argument is a symbolic link to a directory, traverse it

       -L     traverse every symbolic link to a directory encountered

       -P     do not traverse any symbolic links (default)

       --help display this help and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit
