Congrats on getting it working. In my Arch setup, sh is in /usr/bin. A |

before executing it. |

Give me a nudge if you want the more luxurious version with interactive |
| 50 |
selection of the overwrite destination. I think I already started a |

prototype somewhere, but can’t find it right now. |
