I clean up my traces with gpsman first, which is a wierd tcl application that 
doesn't follow the normal unix rules, so I have to play a few games to get it 
to launch gpsbabel at the end. I have still yet to figure out how to open a 
gpx file in gpsman from the command line, so that's still manual. I also send 
a poweroff command to the etrex at the end so I can go and do something else 
without worrying about the batteries.

#!/bin/bash 

GPSMANDIR=$HOME"/junk/gpsman-6.2.1"
GPSMANBIN="gpsman.tcl"
BASEDIR=$HOME"/geotracks"
DATESTAMP=${2:-`date +%Y%m%d`}


mkdir ${BASEDIR}/${DATESTAMP}

gpsbabel -t -i garmin -f /dev/tts/1 -o gpx -F 
${BASEDIR}/${DATESTAMP}/${DATESTAMP}-${1:-"none"}.gpx

gpsbabel -i garmin,power_off -f /dev/tts/1

cd $GPSMANDIR

./$GPSMANBIN
