What I am interested in doing is creating a script that is executed on the first of each month to clean up last months *nmon files. . .what I mean by clean up is that it would create a directory in the format of yyyymm and move all of last months files in that newly created directory.

The problem is that each hostname is of different lengths (since I would be using this on different hosts). . .so it's difficult to use the "cut" command because the length of characters will differ from box to box.

I would appreciate any assistance you can lend.

Give a try on this:

Code:

find dir -name "*$(date +%m%y -d "1 month ago")_0000.nmon" -mtime+1 -exec mv {} new_dir/  \;

And add it in the cron table to run on 1st of everymonth.
