File Archive Script
Hi There,

I want to create a script that will archive files out of a log folder into seperate folders below it, but I need it to keep the previous 2 days worth of information. Now I know I can easily get a script to put the files in there but I don't know how to only get files older than 2 days, my problem is that the file name doesn't have a date in it so i'll need to use the following date to decide which ones to archive
-rw-r--r-- 1 ugpea eupuk 1824 15 Feb 14:14 submit_rep_15141419_4042930.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eupuk eupuk 400483 15 Feb 14:14 med_main.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 4001576 15 Feb 14:15 jobwatch_eupuk.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 root system 50384302 15 Feb 14:15 socketserver_eupuk.log
-rw-rw-r-- 1 eupuk eupuk 374478 15 Feb 14:15 provision_script.log

I think I can use an awk command but have never used it before, does anyone know what command I should use?

Thanks in advance.

fnext

NEW(1)								     [nmh-1.5]								    NEW(1)

NAME

       new - report on folders with new messages

       fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages

       fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages

       unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages

SYNOPSIS

       new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]

       fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext

       fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev

       unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen

DESCRIPTION

       New  in	its  default  mode  produces  a  one-line-per-folder  listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
       sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence".  Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the  desired	sequences,
       and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file.  For example:

	    foo     11.* 40-50
	    bar    380.  760-772 824-828
	     total    391.

       The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder.	The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.

       New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order.  Override this behavior by provid-
       ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.

       In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.

       In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile	  The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:	    To find the default current folder
       Unseen-Sequence:     The name of the unseen message sequence
