Hook it up with any existing filter script you have or add a new one. You
could for example configure a banner script (that outputs no banner of
course) which has the only role of doing this copying. The data file
filename is given to most filter scripts via the -e option.
#!/bin/sh
for PARAMETER in "$@"; do
case "$PARAMETER" in
-e*)
DATA=`echo "$PARAMETER" | cut -c3-`
;;
esac
done
cp "$DATA" /path/to/somewhere/
