making a archive script
Hi All: I’m not much of a script writer so I could use your input. Here’s the objective…
Need a script that will archive (tar) files based on date and then move them into an archive directory. The file names are as follows…
S20070101.001 Year month day
S20070102.001
As you can see this may not be too difficult since you are not having to hunt for the actual date created… I would like to be able to keep 2 weeks as flat txt file and then tar up the rest in either a weekly or bi-monthly tar file… This will be on a Solaris 8/10 boxs running k shell.

Thanks all for your input…!!

Code:
date=20070102
archivedir=/path/to/wherever/
tar cf "$date.tar" *"$date"*
mv *"$date"* "$archivedir"
