Yes I did mean that the system should detect these files once the Cd is mounted, and then copy and uncompress them.<br />

if the CD *always* has a specfic code in the volume id (like a vendorname perhaps) that would be unique from other cds, there you should be able to detect this and automatically mount the cd, and use the other scripts provided here to copy the files.<br />
<br />
If you cant find a unique code, then you are forced to manually type &quot;process_logs&quot; or whatever you name your shell script.

Automatically uncompressing file on a CD and sending to a location
