Hi ,

i guess you are lokking for something like this :

logfile="Set_the _log_directory_path_here"
activedir="Set_directory_In_which_to_check"
for i in `ll $activedir | awk '{print $7}'`
do
if [ "$i" == 1 ];then
echo "This file that will be copied is $i " >> $logfile
cp #whad ever you want to do
fi
done

also , please search this forum ...you will find many a threads and script alredy yhere for this job.

Reg,
