Hello,


I have a script that I found in an AWIPS II document on the internet a while 
ago, and was subsequently modified for my setup at work, that backs up the 
configuration files within the awips2/edex/data/utility directory as a zip 
file.  It copies the files into the zip file, but for some reason at the end of 
zipping the files, it starts all over again in a continous loop.


Perhaps a fresh pair of eyes can see what mine can't.


Thanks,


Brian Bernard
