MV files from one directory structure(multiple level) to other directory structure

Hi,

I am trying to write a script that will move all the files from source directory structure(multiple levels might exist) to destination directory structure. If a sub folder is source doesnot exist in destination then I have to skip and goto next level. I also need to delete the files in destination that are older than 5days. Please do let me know ASAP if you have any solution. Thanks in advance.

If this data is omitted, two results are possible: o If you have administrative permissions (that is, your numerical ID is less than 100), the following defaults are provided: mode o If you do not have administrative permissions, the default mode, owner, and group of the destination file are the same as yours. The option forces to move object to in the destination directory before installing the new object. reads the file to determine the final destination of the file to be installed. The file contains pairs of path names separated by spaces or tabs. The first name is the "official" destination (for example: The second name is the new destination.

This file does not exist on a distribution tape; it is used by sites to track local command movement. The procedures used to build the source are responsible for defining the "official" locations of the source.
