Hi,<br />
I'm trying to backup a specific folder in Linux (Red Hat) and been trying to come up with very simple script to do so. &nbsp;I'm mkdir a directory call 'backup'. &nbsp;Then I tar the folder I want and have it dump to the folder call 'backup'. &nbsp;After that, I cp the file to a Windows Network Share. &nbsp;The problem is every time I run these command in a script format in bash, it chokes. &nbsp;Just wondering what I'm doing wrong?

Hi,
I'm trying to backup a specific folder in Linux (Red Hat) and been trying to come up with very simple script to do so.  I'm mkdir a directory call 'backup'.  Then I tar the folder I want and have it dump to the folder call 'backup'.  After that, I cp the file to a Windows Network Share.  The problem is every time I run these command in a script format in bash, it chokes.  Just wondering what I'm doing wrong?

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
