Moving multiple files and renaming them on the fly
Hi All,
Being new to scripting I am facing a new situation. We have an application that generates a file lets say dumpfile for each user under the users home directory when they execute the application. This is quite a huge file and imagine having that for over 40 users on a daily basis. The problem is that my /home folder gets full and hence needs to have these files moved to another volume. All files being of the same name I would like to know what i should add to my simple script :
find /home core -mtime +1 -exec mv -f {} /temp/coremv \;
Thank you,
JeeKay

flamerobin
FLAMEROBIN(1) Firebird Administration Tool FLAMEROBIN(1)
NAME
flamerobin -- management and data manipulation tool for the Firebird DBMS
SYNOPSIS
flamerobin [-h directory | --home=directory] [-uh directory | --user-home=directory]
DESCRIPTION
flamerobin is a graphical frontend to the Firebird DBMS. It is small and simple, yet offers all the basic features needed to create and
manipulate databases, execute queries and perform administrative tasks.
This manual page only documents the run-time options and environment of flamerobin. Information about using the GUI may be obtained by
selecting the Help -> Manual menu item once the application is running.
flamerobin uses two directory hierarchies for its normal operation. The data directory contains the templates for property pages, the
default configuration and the on-line documentation grouped into three sub-directories as follows:
conf-defs default configuration
docs on-line documentation
html-templates templates for property pages
The user home directory contains the per-user configuration, comprising three entries:
fr_databases.conf this file stores the user's registered databases.
fr_settings.conf this file stores the user's preferences related to the flamerobin GUI.
history this directory holds the SQL statement history, one item per file.
flamerobin accepts several options, which are described as follows:
-h directory
--home=directory
Use directory as the data directory (but see ENVIRONMENT below).
-uh directory
--user-home=directory
Use directory as the user home directory (but see ENVIRONMENT and CAVEATS below).
ENVIRONMENT
FR_HOME
Specifies an alternate location for the flamerobin data directory.
If both -h (or --home) and this environment variable are set, the command line argument takes precedence.
FR_USER_HOME
Specifies an alternate location for the flamerobin user home directory.
If both -uh (or --user-home) and this environment variable are set, the command line argument takes precedence.
FILES
/usr/share/flamerobin
The default flamerobin data directory.
~/.flamerobin
The default flamerobin user home directory.
AUTHORS
flamerobin was written by The FlameRobin Development Team <http://www.flamerobin.org/>.
CAVEATS
flamerobin only writes files under the user home directory. If flamerobin is configured so that this directory and the files contained
therein are shared among several users or concurrent instances of flamerobin, no precaution is taken to avoid overwriting settings created by
other users or other application instances.
NOTES
The specification of the data directory and the user home directory (regardless of whether they occur in the environment or on the command
line) may be the literal string ``$app'' which translates to a common data folder determined at compilation time, or ``$user'' which trans-
lates to the user local data directory. These options currently have effect only on Windows platform.
