Hi,

I want to create a script. This script must find and then copy the result of the find action to a other disk. Anyone any experience with this?

    After some googling i've found this solution:


    
find /path/to/directory/ -name *.extension -exec cp -rfpv {} /path/to/directory/ \;


    This is working. Is it also possible to log the copy action?
