 # This script is used to ftp a file from the local directory to
 # the proper directory on the production machine
 # It will also write date,userid,hostname,targetfile,sourcefile
 # into a logfile, as well as sent with email
 #
 # At the moment it works like this:
 #
 # 1. Go to the directory with the file you have changed
 # 2. Run this script with the the full path as command argument
 # 3. Done, unless you get error messages
 #
 # Sample session:
 # $ whoami
 # user12
 # $ cd ~/theFiles/project1/stat_scripts
 # $ install.ksh -m "fixed bugs" $PWD/gen_stats.sh
 # Installing:
 # calvin:/home/user12/theFiles/project1/stat_scripts/gen_stats.sh
