Hey everyone, I'm trying to write a script that will be able to have paramaters like: -l and -p OR to be able to be given files and have it put them in a .junk folder.

So if I were to type:

junk -l

it would list the files in .junk folder

and if i were to type:

junk -p

it would delete all the files in .junk folder

and if i were to type:

junk one two three

it would take files "one" "two" and "three" and copy them in the .junk folder.

.junk is a hidden folder in the same folder as the junk script but I can't get it working. I know it is only like a few lines so could someone help me out? Thanks a lot!

Post what you have so far.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
#Script: junk
#Purpose: Junk is a replacement for the rm utility. Rather than removing files,
#it moves them into the subdirectory ".junk" in the local directory.
#The -l option lists the current contents of the ".junk" directory.
#The -p option deletes the files in .junk.

mkdir .junk

mv $1 $2 $3 .junk

if [[ -l ]]
then
ls .junk
else
:
fi

if [[ -p ]]
then
rm -r .junk
else
:
fi
