[arm-allstar] Archive Directory Filename Customization

Thu Feb 1 12:43:28 EST 2018

John,

 If you use the script I proposed you probably would want to use a mv (move
command) instead of cp (copy). I believe you would want to move the files
from the current directory after you change the name to avoid confusion.
archivedir will continue to write files in the source directory and
executing the script again will just bring those additional files over.
You also can change the output filenames to whatever format you desire by
changing the script. To keep them in sortable order though you need to keep
it in the current order.
