This is one way. you'll have to tweak it to run on your system find /PATH/new/* \( -mtime -1 \) -exec cp {} /PATH/old/* \; -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Burke, Thomas G. Sent: Tuesday, January 02, 2007 9:37 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Need a script to update directories Hey all, Background: I do all my web page work in a personal directory so as not to FUBAR the real web pages. Problem is keeping the two synchronized. I have thrown together a simple "copy script" that runs as part of my nightly cron job - it copies *everything* from my working directory to the actual web directory every night. These are both on the same machine, so access is not a problem. Problem: Copying everything is slow and, generally, painful. There's a couple 100 meg of data there. I'm looking for a script to update the web directory with newer/missing files. I don't mind at all if some stuff stays there, a true sync isn't necessary. I just need to get all the new content pushed to the appropriate place. Any ideas?
