#
# This script archives and deletes a bunch of courses from WeBWorK.
#
# It calls a perl script to do the actual archiving.  It probably needs to be
# run as root, or as some very privileged user in the local WeBWorK
# directories.
#
# After making the archive (a .tar.gz file) the script deletes the course, and
# copies the archive to ARCHIVE_DIR.
#
# Usage is 
#
# sh archive-and-delete.sh coursename
#
# where coursename can be an indidual coursename, or something with wildcards
# that will match more than one coursename.
#
# Be careful!!  The command
#
# sh archive-and-delete.sh *
#
# will archive and delete all courses!
