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...!!

NAME
dlb - NetHack data librarian
SYNOPSIS
dlb { xct } [ vfIC ] arguments... [ files... ]
DESCRIPTION
Dlb is a file archiving tool in the spirit (and tradition) of tar for NetHack version 3.1 and higher. It is used to maintain the archive
files from which NetHack reads special level files and other read-only information. Note that like tar the command and option specifiers
are specified as a continuous string and are followed by any arguments required in the same order as the option specifiers.
This facility is optional and may be excluded during NetHack configuration.
COMMANDS
The x command causes dlb to extract the contents of the archive into the current directory.
The c command causes dlb to create a new archive from files in the current directory.
The t command lists the files in the archive.
OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
v verbose output
f archive specify the archive. Default if f not specified is LIBFILE (usually the nhdat file in the playground).
I lfile specify the file containing the list of files to put in to or extract from the archive if no files are listed on the command
line. Default for archive creation if no files are listed is LIBLISTFILE.
C dir change directory. Changes directory before trying to read any files (including the archive and the lfile).
EXAMPLES
Create the default archive from the default file list:
dlb c
List the contents of the archive 'foo':
dlb tf foo

BUGS
Not a good tar emulation; - does not mean stdin or stdout. Should include an optional compression facility. Not all read-only files for
NetHack can be read out of an archive; examining the source is the only way to know which files can be.
