find is giving me a hassle in a script
I should know this, I do suppose, but nevertheless, it has me stumped.
find not giving absolute path and file.
my script.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
set -xv
#June 2019
## for e16 in conjunction with its epplet eslides
#to change images upon start up of desktop
#for desktop background
#for arch type Linux systems
#placed in /usr/local/bin/e16loadbackgrounds
#called from e16 session.sh script
#
source1=/usr/share/backgrounds
source2=/media/data1/EtermBGs
source3=$HOME/.config/variety/Downloaded
source4=$HOME/.config/variety/Favorites
destination=$HOME/.e16/backgrounds
mkdir -p $destination
#remove old images and then add new ones
find $destination -type f -exec rm {} \;
amount=30
#image types
type1="*.png"
type2="*.jpg"
#check for dir presents then load if true
[[ -d "$source1" ]] &&
{ mapfile -t source1a < <(find "$source1" -type f \( -name $type1 -o -name $type2 \) | shuf) ; }

the images it keeps getting are in my home parent dir. it should not even be looking at them it is not within the find path for any one of the finds. that I can see at the moment. |
