The last lines of my version of the compile
script links the compiled scribus
to /usr/local/bin
---------------------------
...
make install
cd scribus
ls -l scribus
rm /usr/local/bin/scrib4
ln scribus /usr/local/bin/scrib4
-------------------------------------
I name it scrib4 to distinguish from the 1.5.0
version which I also compile nightly. My script
in /etc/cron.daily looks like this:
----------------------------
cp /usr/local/bin/scrib4 /usr/local/bin/scrib4.bak
cp /usr/local/bin/scrib5 /usr/local/bin/scrib5.bak
/usr/local/scrib140
/usr/local/scrib150
--------------------------------
and my script for the weekly backup
in /etc/cron.weekly looks like this
-----------------------------------
cd /usr/local/bin
cp scrib4 scrib4.wk
cp scrib5 scrib5.wk
-------------------------------------
This scripting ensures that I have two backups to
each version, in case a bug creeps in.

Slackware has handy files like: 
/etc/cron/hourly
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.weekly
/etc/cron.monthly

These it turn are activated by the crontab
mechanism
------------------------------
...
# Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the
hour:
47 * * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
1> /dev/null
#
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
40 4 * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null
#
# Run weekly cron jobs at 4:30 on the first day of the week:
30 4 * * 0 /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 1> /dev/null
#
# Run monthly cron jobs at 4:20 on the first day
of the month:
20 4 1 * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.monthly 1>/dev/null
------------------------------------------

SUSE has essentially the same crontab arrangement.
Other Linux distros may have different mechanisms
to accomplish the same results. I don't know if
Windows has a comparable mechanism.
