Script to create folder, copy file, and send email on success
I am very new to UNIX as well as scripting so please be gentle, haha.

I have a Linux client which has a mount point mapped to my /etc folder on a NetApp FAS system. I woudl like to be able to copy the hosts and rc files once a week from the FAS to a different location for backup.

When the copy happens I would like the script to create a folder based on the current date, then copy the rc and hosts file to that new folder. Once this copy is successful I would like a basic email to be sent to a DL to inform everyone that the copy succeeded.

Is this something that can be scripted?

Thank you!

NAME

       script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications

DESCRIPTION

       script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the
       addresses specified in the MAILTO property.

PROPERTIES

       This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API,
       script configuration.

       MAILTO

	   List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property:
	     property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com"

EXAMPLE

       In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server.  The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to
       the email system unchanged.  The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require
       notification.
	define script-tool pre-email {
	  comment "email me before this DLE is backed up"
	  plugin  "script-email"
	  execute-on pre-dle-backup
	  execute-where server
	  property "mailto" "amanda"
	}

	define dumptype user-tar-email {
	  user-tar
	  script "pre-email"
	}
