Assuming the file list is in a file already. (You could pipe the ls directly to the rest of the commands, if you were so inclined.)
Now, try out the following command:
You can append to this a head -1 to get the top line.
You can also do a cut -d"|" -f2 to get the filename back for the oldest entry.
If this works, then the rest of the logic will flow much smoother.
Hi:-
I need help with a script I need to modify: - what's the best/easiest way to find out the oldest file in a directory and then move this file to another directory?
Thanks, (5 Replies)
Hi all,
I am a newbie to scripting and I need your help regarding finding the oldest file in a particular directory. My intention is to remove that oldest file.
Are there any options available with the "find" command to do this..
Thanks in advance for your help

CRM_DIFF(8) [FIXME: manual] CRM_DIFF(8)NAME
crm_diff - identify changes to the cluster configuration and apply patches to the configuration files
SYNOPSIS
crm_diff [-?|-V] [-o filename] [-O string] [-p filename] [-n filename] [-N string]
DESCRIPTION
The crm_diff command assists in creating and applying XML patches. This can be useful for visualizing the changes between two versions of
the cluster configuration or saving changes so they can be applied at a later time using cibadmin.
OPTIONS --help, -?
Print a help message.
--original filename, -o filename
Specify the original file against which to diff or apply patches.
--new filename, -n filename
Specify the name of the new file.
--original-string string, -O string
Specify the original string against which to diff or apply patches.
--new-string string, -N string
Specify the new string.
--patch filename, -p filename
Apply a patch to the original XML. Always use with -o.
--cib, -c
Compare or patch the inputs as a CIB. Always specify the base version with -o and provide either the patch file or the second version
with -p or -n, respectively.
--stdin, -s
Read the inputs from stdin.
EXAMPLES
Use crm_diff to determine the differences between various CIB configuration files and to create patches. By means of patches, easily reuse
configuration parts without having to use the cibadmin command on every single one of them.
1. Obtain the two different configuration files by running cibadmin on the two cluster setups to compare:
cibadmin -Q > cib1.xml
cibadmin -Q > cib2.xml
2. Determine whether to diff the entire files against each other or compare just a subset of the configurations.
3. To print the difference between the files to stdout, use the following command:
crm_diff -o cib1.xml -n cib2.xml
4. To print the difference between the files to a file and create a patch, use the following command:
crm_diff -o cib1.xml -n cib2.xml > patch.xml
5. Apply the patch to the original file:
crm_diff -o cib1.xml -p patch.xml
FILES
/var/lib/heartbeat/crm/cib.xml--the CIB (minus status section) on disk. Editing this file directly is strongly discouraged.
