- Posted by aaa on December 20th, 2004
We have application every day will create bunch of files under a directory (e.g.
/apps/report). Does any one has script can do following:
1. read system date (today)
2. check files under directory (e.g. /apps/report) which create Yesterday
3. copy files to other location (e.g. /apps/backup)
Thanks.

Seriously, this is like a 6-line script. Nobody there scripts?

find /apps/report -type f -ctime 1 | xargs cp /apps/backup
although "Yesterday" probably needs refining as a definition.

Probably work, as far as it goes, but he needs to decide how files
are going to be handled. Same filenames? Keep old ones? Overwrite?
Delete old?
That too. 6 lines is probably padding it, but there needs to be
a bit of wrapping around the find.
