Hi, I have a script that does a wget on a website, which is working
well. Before the wget command I am moving the folder that already exists:
mv $HOME/documents/newsite $HOME/documents/newsite-old
which is fine. So long as the folder newsite-old doesn't already exist
because the script had previously been run and the folder exists. If it
does, I'd get the following:
mv: cannot move `/home/roger/documents/newsite/' to a subdirectory of
itself, `/home/roger/documents/newsite-old/newsite'
What I would really like to do is be retaining each of the previous
copies of the newsite-old folder, and having the script append an
increasing number to the folder name each time it ran, ie newsite-old1
then newsite-old2 etc.
How could I modify the mv command so that it did this for me?
Hoping this makes sense,
Roger
