I'm a little stuck on this problem, I've tried googling it and some trial and error but can't seem to get it working.
Basically I need the script to:
1) create a directory called "mybackups", if it doesn't exist
2) go through all the .sh files in the current directory, and copy them into the
"mybackups" directory.
3) add the date to the end of each filename.
This is what I've got so far:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [test -e mybackups]
then
mkdir mybackups
echo "Created backup directory"
else
echo "Backup directory found"
fi
for file in (man ls)
do
if[${f: -3} == '.sh']
then
cp $file $file|date "+%Y%m%d"
fi
done
I think the problem is with the cp $file $file|date "+%Y%m%d" line.
But any help would be awesome, I'm a complete newby to this :s
Hello there,
Here is a KornShell script, that does the job (if you change the first line with
#!/bin/bash it also works but will give a warning message).
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
backup_directory="mybackups"
if [[ -a $backup_directory ]]
then
if [[ ! -d $backup_directory ]]
then
print -u2 "error: $backup_directory is not a directory"
exit 1
fi
else
mkdir $backup_directory
print "The directory $backup_directory was created successfully."
fi
for iterator in *
do
if [[ -f $iterator ]]
then
current_filename=$iterator
if [[ $current_filename == *.sh ]]
then
cp $iterator $backup_directory
mv "$backup_directory/$current_filename" "$backup_directory/$current_filename-$(date +%m-%d-%y)"
fi
fi
done

makedev.local
MAKEDEV.LOCAL(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MAKEDEV.LOCAL(8)NAME
MAKEDEV.local -- create site-specific device special files
SYNOPSIS
MAKEDEV.local [-fMsu] [-m mknod] [-p pax] [-t mtree] {all | site-specific-argument} [...]
DESCRIPTION
MAKEDEV.local is used to create site-specific device special files. Each argument may be the word all or a site-specific argument. By
default, there are no valid site-specific arguments, and the all argument has no effect; This may be changed by editing the script.
The script is in /dev/MAKEDEV.local. Devices are created in the current working directory; in normal use, MAKEDEV.local should be invoked
with /dev as the current working directory.
Supported options for MAKEDEV.local are the same as for MAKEDEV(8).
FILES
/dev special device files directory
/dev/MAKEDEV script that invokes MAKEDEV.local with the all argument.
/dev/MAKEDEV.local script described in this man page
SEE ALSO config(1), intro(4), MAKEDEV(8), mknod(8)HISTORY
The MAKEDEV.local command appeared in 4.2BSD. Handling of the same command line options as MAKEDEV(8), and the use of MAKEDEV(8) as a func-
tion library, was added in NetBSD 5.0.
NOTES
The relationship between MAKEDEV.local and MAKEDEV(8) is complex:
o If MAKEDEV(8) is invoked with the all or local argument, then it will invoke MAKEDEV.local as a child process, with options similar to
those that were originally passed to MAKEDEV(8), and with the all argument.
o MAKEDEV.local uses shell functions defined in MAKEDEV(8). This is done by loading MAKEDEV(8) using the shell ``.'' command, with the
MAKEDEV_AS_LIBRARY variable set (to inform MAKEDEV(8) that it should behave as a function library, not as an independent program).
