Script that moves itself

Hello all, I'm new here, so if this is in the wrong place please feel free to move it. Smilie

As a challenge to myself, I've decided I want to make a "alive" script. Well not really, but almost.

I want to make a script that will rove around my hard drive in the background (actually "moving" itself), and record the files it sees. Sorta like a mini mars rover... in my computer.

I'm on Mac OS 10.4.4, so I'm on UNIX/Darwin underneath, and my general question is:

Can I make a script that can actually move itself? I can see the obvious difficulties; "Item in use, permission denied!" etc...

I'd like to be able to do it without using another script, but somehow I think I already know the answer, but please tell me I'm wrong. Smilie

NAME

       esdcompat - PulseAudio ESD wrapper script

SYNOPSIS

       esdcompat [options]

       esdcompat --help

       esdcompat --version

DESCRIPTION

       esdcompat  is  a  compatiblity script that takes the same arguments as the ESD sound daemon esd(1), but uses them to start a the PulseAudio
       sound server with the appropriate parameters. It is required to make PulseAudio a drop-in replacement for esd, i.e. it can be used to  make
       gnome-session(1) start up PulseAudio instead of esd.

       It is recommended to make esd a symbolic link to this script.

OPTIONS

       -h | --help
	      Show help.

       --version
	      Show version information.

       -tcp | -promiscuous | -d | -b | -r | -as | -unix | -public | -terminate | -nobeeps | -trust | -port | -bind
	      These options understood by the original esd are ignored by esdcompat.

       -spawnpid | -spawnfd
	      These internally used options understood by the original esd are properly handled by esdcompat, however are not to be used manually.
