http://www.smithconcepts.com/files/scripts/ Take a look at the back2cd script on this page. One of the guys at my LUG wrote it. I've been using it for a few months now for the same type of things you're talking about. The only catch is it's written in the c shell and it uses bzip2 for compression so make sure you have those installed. You may also have to adjust the path to the c shell on line 1 (He wrote it on redhat and I think their path to the c shell is different. HTH, Jesse
