Your question about where to put the copy command, better be before the 
exit 0 line as the exit command does what it says and will exit the 
script at that point. Sometimes those exit commands are put in start up 
scripts so you can disable them (IE. the exit command will be near the 
beginning so that either you comment it out to enable the script or 
uncomment it to disable the script).
