Normaly one would use cron to do that, however considering the short time,
i would use a script like the one attached.
create a file call it what you want, be carefull not to use a name which is
alread in use, edit the paths, save the file, give it executable
permissions.
chmod a+x <filename>
invole it with;
./filename &
It will then go on for ever cp'ing the file untill its killed.
#!/bin/sh
while
cp /home/pa3gcu/scripts/pipo /home/pa3gcu/scripts/pipo1
do
sleep 20
done
