   Hello All!   
      
   I am trying make some script jump by some if statement like the one in dos   
   commands.   
   In dos commands is it like this:   
      
   ---snip---   
   if exist nodelist.(day) then goto latest   
   else    
   copy nodelist.(oldday) d:\fido\makenl\z115fake\   
   goto chckfile1   
      
   :latest   
   copy nodelist.(day) d:\fido\makenl\z115fake\   
      
   :chckfile1   
   rem    
   rem some other checks commands herunder.   
   ----cut----   
      
   In linux I have this command and functions in mind nad use.   
      
   ---snip---   
   if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then goto latest; fi   
      else    
       cp nodelist.${oldnum} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/   
   goto chckfile   
      
   :latest   
   cp nodelist.${num} /home/fido/makenl/z115fake/   
      
   :chckfile   
   ####   
   # some other linux command and functions for check and move files here under.   
   ---snip---   
      
   The linux command and function shall could check if the new julian dat   
   nodelist/pasnlist is copied to a place and if it not is the julian day file   
   then jump to another section and copy the latest there is, but if it there is   
   the julian day file cp it and jump over the section for the old file copy.   
      
   it could maybe just be done with 2 line of if statements.   
   if [ -a nodelist.${oldnum ]; then copy nodelist.${oldnum}; fi   
   if [ -a nodelist.${num} ]; then copy nodelist.${num}; fi   
      
   so the function only copy the old nodelist when it not find the julian fay   
   nodelist there will be the next weeks nodelist.   
      
      
      
     Take care,   
               Gert
