Okay, well from the OP ... $ cp --backup=t file /destination/file First time use of mmv: $ mmv "file.~*~" "file.#1" However, the next time you try the cp again, it will create a new ~1~ as it doesn't exist and using mmv won't give the desired result. So you would need to do: $ (cd /destination; mmv "file.*" "file.~#1~") $ cp --backup=t file /destination/file $ (cd /destination; mmv "file.~*~" "file.#1") Cheers A. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
