A simple script to safely back-up the Julia sys.dll and libjulia.dll, and give it a name.

julia-saveimage.sh

#!/bin/bash

# Moves the sys.dll and libjulia.dll files into sys.$NAME.dll and libjulia.$NAME.dll in their respective directories.
# (See julia-loadimage.sh.)
# If the files already exists, prompts before overwriting.
#
# Usage: ./julia-saveimage.sh <name>
