Perhaps we should recommend:
cd /path&& test ! -f %f&& cp %p %f
That is shorter and removes the duplicate problem.
Um ... %p is relative to the database directory.
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.
Isn't this invoked via system()? AFAIK that should always invoke a
Bourne shell or equivalent on Unix. But in any case, I think you're
trying to solve a problem that doesn't really exist.
