I assume that you would be putting all the RCP commands in the script. Setup password-less rcp. To do this, you should have $HOME/.rhosts file defined on the target machine if you are trying to login as root.

once that is done, you can simply use rcp like below:

rcp 10.100.11.2:/u01/pr/uni.txt /u05/ryd/uni.txt >> /log.txt

hope this works for you. I have not tried this but i guess this should work
