I'm not good at this. I've been banging my head against a wall for two nights and this tiny, simple script is not working. My goal is to copy a download and paste it to a different folder, leaving the original

#!/bin/bash

source_d="~/data/downloads/data/downloads"

destination_d="~/data/library/ingest"

inotifywait -m -r -e close_write "$source_d" |

while read -r path; do

cp -r "$path" "$destination_d"

done

I've made it as far as having the watch initiated in from the source directory, but it doesn't move anything. Please help, and if it makes you feel good you can call me an idiot.

Greetings,

I have spent my life in academia (PhD in cell biology) and the last 8 years at a large government regulatory agency. I just scheduled for a biotech associate position at a large US firm on the buy side. I have very little finance background, but am a quick learn.

Can you please tell me some resources so I can be better prepared to discuss the details of the job? I have no certificates, but am willing to obtain them, but what are some useful ones? Are there standard techniques, like 6-sigma or 8D or some other buzzy thing that I should prepare to discuss?

Any pointers/guidance would be greatly appreciated.
