[SunHELP] syncing/copying files

[Will Mc Donald]

Seems that GNU cp has an option to do what you want too, Solaris might not.
Obviously this is of absolutely no use to you now. :)

man cp

-u, --update
              copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination
file or when the destination file is missing
