Hi RudiC

Thanks for your reply.

If I want to run the cronjob at 12:15 everyday, will the below do the work for me :

Code:
15 12 * * * /bin/mv /vol/nmonlog/servername_160416_0010.nmon /vol/nmonlog/nmon_servername_daily_2016.04.16_00.00.00

But how to make sure that the renaming of the file happens everyday ?

Did you consider and understand the proposal in post#8?

Above will work exactly ONCE unless /vol/nmonlog/servername_160416_0010.nmon is recreated regularly.

name convention change
Hi RudiC

Thanks for your reply.

To be frank I did not understand the proposal in post#8 since I'm just trained in AIX and new to scripts.

In the below crontab you can see that the sourcefile is of the format like servername_YYDDMM_00**.nmon

Also the destination file is of the format nmon_servername_daily_YYYY.MM.DD_00.00.00
Code:
15 12 * * * /bin/mv /vol/nmonlog/servername_160417_0010.nmon /vol/nmonlog/nmon_servername_daily_2016.04.17_00.00.00

I'm not sure how I can use the proposal in post#8 to this issue because I'm not aware of what is [0-9]* and FN.

Can you please advise me.
