Script advice
All
I have 2 parent directories - input and output. Each parent has multiple sub-directories...each sub-directory has multiple files. Each parent directory structure is a mirror image of itself
I need to poll the imput directory and if a new file is found, encrypt the file, move the file to its mirror image (output directory) and then delete itself from the input directory
I apprciate I can use cron to poll the directories and use find to list the files but what would be an elagant solution to this request.
This is what I think I can do so-far .....
<at parent directory>find . -type f -mtime -l -exec <encript file> | -exec mv
... but how do I mv the file to its mirror image directory location ?
Any advise / solution would be great
Thanks in advance

rfmkdir
RFMKDIR(1) Rfio User Commands RFMKDIR(1)
NAME
rfmkdir - make remote directories
SYNOPSIS
rfmkdir [ -m mode ] [ -p ] directory...
DESCRIPTION
rfmkdir provides an interface to the shift remote file I/O daemon (rfiod) for creating remote directories in mode 777 (possibly altered by
umask(1)). The directory argument is either a remote directory name of the form:
hostname:path
or a local directory name (not containing the :/ character combination). Creation of a directory requires write permission in the parent
directory.
OPTIONS
The following options apply to rfmkdir:
-m mode
This option allows users to specify the mode to be used for the new directories. Choices for modes can be found in chmod(1).
-p With this option, rfmkdir creates dirname by creating all the non-existing parent directories first.
SEE ALSO
mkdir(1), umask(1), mkdir(2), rfiod(1)
