thanks for your help. i have a slight issue. my code is below:

CurTime=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
OVSA_DIR=/var/opt/OV/ServiceActivator/response_messages

logDir=/tmp/OVSA/OVSALogs_${CurTime}
mkdir ${logDir}

find ${OVSA_DIR} -type f -mtime +2 | while read file

do
dest=$(dirname "$file" | sed "s/response_messages/OVSALogs_${CurTime}/")
[ -d "$dest" ] || mkdir -p "$dest"
mv "$file" "$dest"
done

files are now copied in their respective folders but not in the OVSALogs_${curTime} folder
instead, they are copied to =/var/opt/OV/ServiceActivator/OVSALogs_${CurTime} folder.

The problem is in sed "s/response_messages/OVSLogs_$curTime}/". What sould i pass in place of resonse_messages in sed command here so that files are copied to /tmp/OVSA/OVSALogs_${curTime} directory

Thanks in advance

NAME
size - print the size of the sections in an object file SYNOPSIS
size [ option ... ] [ object ... ] DESCRIPTION
Size (without the -m option) prints the (decimal) number of bytes required by the __TEXT, __DATA and __OBJC segments. All other segments are totaled and that size is listed in the `others' column. The final two columns is the sum in decimal and hexadecimal. If no file is specified, a.out is used. The options to size(1) are: - Treat the remaining arguments as name of object files not options to size(1). -m Print the sizes of the Mach-O segments and sections as well as the total sizes of the sections in each segment and the total size of the segments in the file. -l When used with the -m option, also print the addresses and offsets of the sections and segments. -x When used with the -m option, print the values in hexadecimal (with leading 0x's) rather than decimal. -arch arch_type Specifies the architecture, arch_type, of the file for size(1) to operate on when the file is a fat file. (See arch(3) for the cur- rently know arch_types.) The arch_type can be "all" to operate on all architectures in the file. The default is to display only the host architecture, if the file contains it; otherwise, all architectures in the file are shown. SEE ALSO
