update - a script to add content to a user's webpage

This is a script which takes several arguments. It is designed to copy a given file into a personal area on a website then update the user's own index file with a link to the newly added file. The script can handle plain text, html, PDF, office and various image file formats.

SITE_ROOT ---+
             |
             |-- user1.html -- user1 --+
             |                         |--- htdocs 
             |                         |--- img
             |                         |--- office
             |                         |--- pdfs
             |
             |-- user2.html -- user2 --+
           ... etc ... etc ...

Then the script should be able to copy html files into the htdocs subdirectory; image files into img; Excel, Word, OpenOffice Writer (etc) documents into the office subdirectory; and PDFs into the pdfs directory (where else?)

# Usage note for the -h option and mistakes with other parameters

USAGE="This script can take lots of parameters. Sorry. \n \
Usage: $0: -h | -f filename [-u user] [-t type] [-l linkname] [-c comment] \n \
The only compulsory parameter is the -f filename option \n \
but you should consider including the -l linkname option to provide \n \
a descriptive title to the link. \n \
Defaults: user = \$LOGNAME \n \
          type(*) = text \n \
          linkname = Text File \n \
          comment = A UNIX Team document \n \
(*) type can be one of \n \
       pdf, html, text, txt, office, doc, xls, sxw, sxc or img \n \
If any parameters contain spaces, surround them with \"double quotes\""

# Set defaults for other parameters

linkname="Text File"
comment="A UNIX Team document"
