i need to write a script that will do the following:
check each subdirectory of a particular path for rar files then unrar them to another location, and keep track of which ones it's already hit...doesn't absolutely have to keep track perse, i'm thinking i can output the text to a file in the directory of the rar file and if the script SEES this file, it will know not to unrar these files.
I'm VERY new to shell scripting...i've writen 3 successful...very simple scripts....eventually i want to be able to write a script that will use cksfv to see if the files are complete, then make a torrent with them...but these things are kind of similar though i think the second one will be harder....i'm not asking anyone to write it for me, i just want to know which tools i should look at,. and which man pages i need to read.
Thanks, i'm kind of stuck
