[K12OSN] Scripters...I need your help! *please?*

[Petre Scheie]

Off the top of my head:

!#/bin/bash
for x in `ls /home`; do
echo "Doing $x ..."
mkdir /home/${x}/win-backup
chown ${x}.${x} /home/${x}/win-backup

echo "Copying /opt/samba/profiles/${x}/My\ Documents/ /home/${x}/win-backup"
#cp /opt/samba/profiles/${x}/My\ Documents/ /home/${x}/win-backup

echo "Copying /opt/samba/profiles/${x}/Desktop/ /home/${x}/win-backup"
#cp /opt/samba/profiles/${x}/Desktop/ /home/${x}/win-backup

echo "Copying /opt/samba/profiles/${x}/Favorites/ /home/${x}/win-backup
#cp /opt/samba/profiles/${x}/Favorites/ /home/${x}/win-backup
done


If you copy this to a file, do a chmod +x on the file, and run it, it will tell 
you what it's going to do without actually doing it.  This way you can see if 
you will get what you want.  Assuming it is what you want, remove the # signs in 
front of the cp commands and rerun the script.  HTH
