Dear all,<br><br>i'm writing a certain script which does a specific task in a repetitive manner, i'm going to give a similar script with the same concept hope you could advise me to a better way:<br><br><br>USER1="roland"<br>USER2="dany"<br>USER3="kevin"<br><br><br>cp -r /opt/$USER1/test /backup/$USER1<br>cp -r /opt/$USER2/test /backup/$USER2<br><br><br>such a command would be repeated 832 times (this is just an example) <br>so instead of copying the above line 832 times and appending that user's number in each "$USER"<br><br>is there a way to do it in a smarter way ?<br><br><br>thanks,<br><br>--Rolad<br><br> </body>
