test file1 -ot file2 && cp file2 file1
Is there any copy update alternative command?
Domanda
I'm currently using a BusyBox v1.16.2 and cp command does not provide update option:
...
-u, --update
copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file
or when the destination file is missing
Is there any alternative?
I would think of using find --newer parameter, but I'm trying to figure out how to do it (after a few tries...).
BusyBox v1.16.2 multi-call binary.
Usage: cp [OPTIONS] SOURCE DEST
Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY
Options:
-a Same as -dpR
-R,-r Recurse
-d,-P Preserve symlinks (default if -R)
-L Follow all symlinks
-H Follow symlinks on command line
-p Preserve file attributes if possible
-f Force overwrite
-i Prompt before overwrite
-l,-s Create (sym)links
