shell script to selectively tar directory based on date
hye everybody
,
i'm new to the scripting world.. hope you guys can help me out with this one..
i'm trying to identify any directory under /tmp/saya that is created more than one day from the current date..
e.g, today is March 14, so any directory that has time stamp March 13 backwards, i want to tar it and put under /tmp/awak..
this is the script that i created (without the date)
### PART 1 : TO TAR FILE IN /tmp/saya AND PUT IN /tmp/awak ###
cd /tmp/saya
for file in *
do
if [[ -d $file ]]
then
tar -cvf /tmp/awak/$file.tar $file
fi
done

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
