[SOLVED] Getting unexpected output from linux script.

ashvini jamdar · 05-04-2017, 04:06 AM

Hello,

When we are using find command for finding text file.We are getting .txt file plus .gz file.

We are using below commands

find /opt/tibco/CustomScripts/Daily_Monitoring/ -type f -mtime -2 \! -name '`date "+%b-%dth-%Y-%H:%M"`.txt' -exec gzip {} \;

I want output only .txt file.

I am getting error gzip: /opt/tibco/CustomScripts/Daily_Monitoring/awor-oqtibbw01.010520170200.txt.gz already has .gz suffix -- unchanged

can you please help me.

Code:

find /opt/... -type f-mtime -2 ! -name '`date "+%b-%dth-%Y-%H:%M"`.txt' ...

Will find all files modified newer then 2 days ago including *.gz that are NOT the current date/time +%b-%dth-%Y-%H:%M".txt. I assume you want to find just *.txt files that is not the most current.

Code:

find /opt/... -type f -mtime -2 -name '*.txt' ! -name '*`date "+%b-%dth-%Y-%H:%M"`.txt' ...
