One of my favorite shell scripts is as follows:
#!/bin/sh -v
cd $1; tar cf - . | (cd $2; tar xfBp -)
Save the file as 'ctar' and make it executable.
To run it, type:
ctar fromdir todir
This will copy all files, etc and symbolic links from the fromdir to
the todir (the destination directory.) Hope someone can find this useful!
