I need to copy the directory and subdirectories to some other location. FROM Path 1: /tmp/home/status/ TO Path2: /home/status/

if user creates any directory tree under Path 1, then my script should check the directory and subdirectories + files created under that and copy the directory structure from Path 1: /tmp/home/status/ to Path2: /home/status/

Now when I run the script again :

1.This time then my script should check the directory and subdirectories + files created under that and copy the directory structure from Path 1: /tmp/home/status/ to Path2: /home/status/ OR 2. ALSO It should see the latest modified directory and subdirectories + files created under that and copy only the latest changes. it would compare two directories (including subdirectories) together and do: - file comparison ... is in directory_1 at source path but not in target path directory_1 - file ... FileX is in both directories, but is modified after previous copy.

Any suggestions how to proceed on this.Thanks
