Hi, can anyone say me how i can write in a log file what *.jar become cp, please?

Code:

echo "Update $DESC2 Plugins..."
cp -r "$DIR2"/bukkit_update/plugins/*.jar "$DIR2"/plugins/
echo "done"

Hi Tealk,

I'm not sure what exactly you're looking for, but maybe this will help:

To log to the syslog system log, look at logger(1).

If you want more output from cp, use -v for verbose mode. It will print the filename of the copied target. e.g.

Code:

jameson@yellow:~$ cp -v todo  todo.bak
`todo' -> `todo.bak'

If all you want to do is log the output to some file, you can:

Code:

echo "Whatever" > output.log
cp -v src dest > output.log
