Need a script to update directories

[Anaya, Michael]

This is one way. you'll have to tweak it to run on your system

find /PATH/new/* \( -mtime -1 \) -exec cp {} /PATH/old/* \;

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?

	TIA,
		Tom
