Archive files
Hi All,
I wrote this script: Code:
#!/bin/ksh
while read DAYS ARCH_PATH
do
cd $ARCH_PATH
find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -o -type f -mtime +$DAYS -exec tar -cv
f kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar {} \;
cd -
done < filestoarchive.txt
Please advise.

You can build the list of files to archive and use the -L option of tar :
Code:
#!/bin/ksh while read DAYS ARCH_PATH do cd $ARCH_PATH find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -o -type f -mtime +$DAYS | sed "s+^.+$PWD+" > filelist cd - done < filestoarchive.txt tar -cvfL kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar filelist Last edited by aigles; 08-18-2006 at 09:21 AM.

Hi,
Its you again.Thanks a lot. I executed this code but got only the list of files in the filelist file but no .tar file in the folder. Please why do we have 'cd -' in the code? Whats the use of that? Regards, Kay

cd - returns to the previous directory.
I have modified the script a little bit. Code:
#!/bin/ksh FileList=$PWD/filelist while read DAYS ARCH_PATH do cd $ARCH_PATH find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -o -type f -mtime +$DAYS | sed "s+^.+$PWD+" > $FileList cd - done < filestoarchive.txt tar -cvfL kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar $FileList

By the way, I removed the L option, but it tarred only the filelist,where as it should tar the files in the filelist. Did u mean small L (l) instead of L. I tried that too but still, it tarred only the filelist file.

Hi
Still I believe the final command Code:
tar -cvfL kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar $FileList For example: I wanted it to archive any files in folder ARSENAL that are older than 40days. In the filestoarchive, I have 40 /path/Arsenal Assuming there are 5files older than 40days, I should have the tar file with the date, and better would be to remove the files. Thanks
