While extracting I search for the files and extract. My problem is if they created folder having white spaces I can not exttract using the script given above.

Yes, I tried giving the search variable inside double quotes and still not working.

Regards,

Ok, in that case, what we can try to do is that, simply replace each space with a pattern which is extremely unlikely to occur ("___"), run below script to replace white spaces from file and directory names with ("_") before you run your own script.

Code:

#! /bin/ksh

SRC_PATH = /db01/dat

# first, we fix the directories

for name in $(find $SRC_PATH -type d -print | sed 's/ /____/g')
do
  if [ $name != "." ] ; then
    oldname="$(echo $name | sed 's/____/ /g')"
    newname="$(echo $name | sed 's/____/_/g')"
    if [ "$oldname" != "$newname" ] ; then      
      mv "$oldname" "$newname"
    fi
  fi 
done

#fixing individual files...

for name in $(find $SRC_PATH -type f -print | sed 's/ /____/g')
do
  oldname="$(echo $name | sed 's/____/ /g')"
  newname="$(echo $name | sed 's/____/_/g')"
  if [ "$oldname" != "$newname" ] ; then
    mv "$oldname" "$newname"
  fi
done

NAME

       mrtg-webserver - hints for web server configuration

SYNOPSIS

       If you want people to actually see the results of your network monitoring efforts you will need a webserver.

       This document lists some configuration hints for webservers. Contributions welcome.

APACHE

   Configuring mod_expire
       A big issue with mrtg monitoring data is the expiry time.  All these nice graphs you can create are only valid for a short time.  If you do
       not take special action some webbrowsers will not notice this and you may end up with people seeing old data because of caching issues.

       The apache module mod_expire allows you to setup special expiry properties for individual file.

       Here is an example for how this may look for an mrtg web directory.  The configuration directives can be stored into a .htaccess file.

	############################################################
	# Example .htaccess for use with apache-1.2 and mod_expire.
	# (mod_expire come with apache-1.2 but you have to explicitly
	# activate it when compiling the httpd ...)
	#############################################################
	#
	<Files "*-day.png">
	ExpiresActive On		  # enable expirations
	# five minutes
	ExpiresDefault M300
	</Files>

	<Files "*-week.png">
	ExpiresActive On
	ExpiresDefault M1800
	</Files>

	<Files "*-month.png">
	ExpiresActive On
	ExpiresDefault M7200
	</Files>

	<Files "*-year.png">
	ExpiresActive On
	ExpiresDefault M86400
	</Files>

	<Files "*.html">
	ExpiresActive On
	ExpiresDefault M300
	</Files>

	# index.html is not automatically generated
	<Files "index.html">
	ExpiresActive Off
	</Files>
