Code:
[ "$(ls -A staging)" ] || mv /exports/$(ls -t /exports/*.xml | tail -1) /staging/

NAME
dhcpv6db2conf - DHCPv6 client database converter SYNOPSIS
[lan_interfaces] DESCRIPTION
provides a means of translating the DHCPv6 client database, into a set of standard configuration file variables. The client database con- sists of a series of records. Each record represents a unique lan interface and a list of attributes, which correspond to that interface. The attributes are configuration parameters like: host's IP address, NTP server address, address of the DHCPv6 server, NIS domain name etc for that interface. With you can list the contents of the database to the screen, create a set of configuration staging files, or execute direct edits on existing configuration files using the values contained in the client database. Options allows you to specify a list of lan interfaces on the command line (e.g. whose data needs to be translated to a readable format. If no lan interface is specified, will process the entries of all interfaces which are UP. The attributes can be selected for processing by specifying a combination of one or more filter flags on the command line. If no filter flag is specified, all the attributes for that lan interface will be processed. The following options are supported: Using the results of the specified filter, directly apply the variable definitions to the existing configuration files (for example, Create a set of staging files using the results of the selected filter(s). Each variable processed will be applied to its corresponding staging configuration file. Specifically, will generate a copy of the existing configuration file. For example, will be copied to Once this staging file has been created, the variable that is being processed will be applied to this newly created file. Print results to the screen (stdout), this is the default action if neither nor are specified. Process the INTERFACE variable set [IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME, IPV6_ADDRESS, IPV6_PREFIXLEN, DHCPV6_ENABLE]. Process the DNS variable set [domain, nameserver]. Process the SIP server address and SIP domain name information. Process the NIS variable set [NIS_DOMAIN, YPSET_ADDR]. Process the vendor specific information. Print the DHCPv6 server address. lan_interfaces lan interfaces such as whose data needs to be translated to a readable format. If not specified, will process the entries of all interfaces which are UP. Configuration Files and Variable Names The following files and variables can be processed: IPV6_SECONDARY_INTERFACE_NAME IPV6_ADDRESS IPV6_PREFIXLEN DHCPV6_ENABLE NIS_DOMAIN YPSET_ADDR domain / search nameserver EXAMPLES
