Thanks. It's works as I want now. I was in the bad context of something like

<some_path>/fai/files/alpha/etc/hostname

<some_path>/fai/files/beta/etc/hostname

The fcopy message could be more clear for newbees like me, 
distinguishing 2 cases:
if file exists and is not a directory -> "$ps should be a directory 
containing templates"
if not existent -> "inexistent directory: $ps"

Thanks again.
