Oh, I see now. I had thought it was an absolute path, but good thing it isn't because of the possible need for quoting characters in the path name. The only other idea I have is: NEW=/path && test ! -f $NEW/%f && cp %p $NEW/%f but that is not going to work with csh-based shells, while I think the original is fine. -- Bruce Momjian <br...@momjian.us> http://momjian.us EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com + It's impossible for everything to be true. + -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
