Okay so great minds think alike i think, but looking at these

You are copying to a different directory, that is hard to GROK.
GROK isn't an acronym :)
1. touch $AS/standalone/deployments/example.war.skipdeploy
2. cp -r target/example.war/ $AS/standalone/deployments
3. rm $AS/standalone/deployments/example.war.skipdeploy
It is a little odd to copy the new things skipped NOT into the
example.war.skipdeploy directory?
That's not what's happening here at all, read it again.
1. rm $AS/standalone/deployments/example.war.deployed
2. wait for $AS/standalone/deployments/example.war.undeployed file to appear
3. cp -r target/example.war/ $AS/standalone/deployments
4. touch $AS/standalone/deployments/example.war.dodeploy
Above your touching a file you did not explicitly create above, again
kinda odd.
"touch" creates a file if it doesn't exist, it's a pretty standard
idiom.
I get what you are doing I think, and I like the directory renaming
as I
came up with it independently, but the seemingly magic/gaps from one
step the next is troublesome in getting what I am able/should do?
You can't assume that every filesystem supports directory renaming.
In any case this bikeshed has been painted numerous times... must we
cover it again here?
