#!/bin/bash
oldest_mpd=`ls -1 -t /apps/*.mpd | head -1`
oldest_mpe=`ls -1 -t /apps/*.mpe | head -1`
oldest_mpf=`ls -1 -t /apps/*.mpf | head -1`

mv $oldest_mpd /apps/d1/
mv $oldest_mpe /apps/d1/
mv $oldest_mpf /apps/d1/

mv $oldest_mpd /apps/d2/
mv $oldest_mpe /apps/d2/
mv $oldest_mpf /apps/d2/

mv $oldest_mpd /apps/d3/
mv $oldest_mpe /apps/d3/
mv $oldest_mpf /apps/d3/

mv $oldest_mpd /apps/d4/
mv $oldest_mpe /apps/d4/
mv $oldest_mpf /apps/d4/

I can put this into cron every minute right but I don't think this is going to be that fast, what if the moves happen in less than a minute and it moves four suites and then it's done til the next minute? Is there a way to make it continuous? will this work?

Would I have to do something like this to reload the variable again?
