Hello Everyone,

I have this script that works to copy the whole directory. But what I want is to remove all the files that are in one directory and than copy what is in another to that one.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

rm -f /root/my-documents/Manna/
cp -dir /usr/local/Manna2/KJV/001genesistxt/ /root/my-documents/Manna/


Any ideas on how to do this?

Have you looked into rsync (rsync --help)? Perhaps one of the rsync options would be a better way to do what you want.
