You just make a text file with the copy commands you want to repeat. You put a "sheebang" notation at the top to tell it what interpreter to use. Something like this ( plain vanilla shell ): CODE #!/bin/sh cp -R /mnt/hda1/Documents/* /mnt/sda1/Documents cp /mnt/hda1/bookmarks.html /mnt/sda1/ The file will need to be executable, so use this command "chmod u+x myfirstbat.sh". Then, when you need to run it, just type "./myfirstbat.sh" in a console and it should fire off. Read more here: http://www.freeos.com/guides/lsst/
