[Leaplist] rsync shell script for mac

[Tom Foster]

Hey guys,

My sister was just complaining the other day that it would be tragic
if any of the work she had done with her mac was lost.  I managed to
find the terminal program, and used rsync to save files to an external
drive.

So I have two or three questions.  What are mac osx files that should be
excluded (put into an "exclude.txt")?  Also, what should a shell
script for a mac look like?  Where is bash? is there a "~/bin/"
equivalent?

I'd also like to have a link to the script on the desktop and/or have
it called by cron.  Mac does have cron, doesn't it?

thanks.
