Hello Friends,

I am new to scripting, please guide me in below problem:

I want to track a file, if anyone make any changes to that file then script should copy it to another server.

my whole purpose is to backup a critical file automatically when any change is done to that specific file.

Thanks.

diff latest_copy current_copy || exit

cp current_copy latest_copy

rcp current_copy backup_server:current_copy.`date '+%G%m%d%H%M%S'`
