Script to Move files

jain_rajesh · 10-15-2004, 05:39 AM

Hi,

I want to write a shell script which will look into the directory for the files which has been modified / updated on today's date and move them into the directory which has been named based on Today's date.

For ex: Suppose that todays date is OCT 15, then it will select all files having date modified/created as OCT 15 and then make a dir OCT 15 and move all these files to this directory.

I am able to get date and make directory accordingly using following cmd

d=`date "+%b %d"
mkdir $d

But I am not able to select files based on date and move them into this folder. Can anyone please tell me how to do that?

Thanks.
Rajesh

Here ya go! The modification date is at less than one day ( today )
with the command: -mtime -1

Code:

#!/bin/bash

d=`date "+%b%d"`
mkdir /home/$d

cd /home/stuff
find . -depth -type f -name '*' -mtime -1 -exec mv {} /home/$d \;
