ok. There is a window xp base production server contained video files for play out. There is another server which is a linux base server placed in the network of the window xp based production server. I normally copy the files in the windo xp production server to the linux server for storage/backup and also compy it back to the window xp server at a time t. Now I want a shell script to automate this process. please help

A windows or linux script? Either machine could initiate the copy depending on how you have the shares set up.

Give us an idea of the kinds of repetitive commands you type in (and as skanke points out - which machine you type them on).

Perhaps then, we can suggest various script features to automate it.

(((please let it be Linux....)))
