Thanks a lot, Philipp and Marc.
I did not know this marvellous "rsync" . Shame on me ! ;-)
2 collateral questions:
1- What do I put at the beginning/end of the shell script ?
-----------
#!/bin/sh
(cd /Volumes/A; rsync -aR Path/To/Folder/1 Path/To/Folder/2 /Volumes/
B)
-----------
Is that correct ?
2- What extension do I put to the shell script fille, so that it
will be recognized ?
None ?
Sorry, I am a poor shell newbie...
Have pity. ;-)
You must mark the script to be executable with a call from Terminal
after the file is created. An extension is not necessary but typically
you would use .sh for a /bin/sh call and .pl for a /usr/bin/perl call,
etc.
chmod u+x myrsync.sh
Another thing about shell scripting is that it's very particular about
spellings. For instance calling Philip Philipp and Mark Marc is not
acceptable in shell scripts.
