Imre,
I suggest you change the script to moving the file to a archive directory
(or just zip it up).
The reason for this is that if you manage to somehow get a bad config.xml
file then you risc losing your (potentially only) good one! The other
reason is that it makes it easier to roll back to a previous config - or
check previous configurations.
However, there is also the issue of how many of these backup files to
keep, which will mean your script will be a bit more complicated.
Regards,
Mon

Thanks Frederick,
It works fine me exactly the same way you wrote. (Debian / wget 1.9.x)
I have just copied over what you wrote and made some "version checking".
thanks for it
