archiving equal sets of files from directories
Good morning.
I am trying to write a script on SunOS that will tar up files from a set of directories. This is no problem, but what I need to do is to create 3 different archives each containing a third of the files from a particular sub-directory.
So if I have a directory structure:
masterdir
-0
--dir
---dir
----0
----1
----2
----3
-1
--dir
---dir
----0
----1
----2
----3
-2
--dir
---dir
----0
----1
----2
----3
So I have a directory with 10 subdirectories labeled 0-9 and in each one a series of subdirectories labeled 0-1000 containing a series of files.
I need to create archives with identical directory structures and each one containing approximately 1/3 of the files from each leaf directory.
Any suggestions on the best way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
