This is a good reason to consider a "filing system method" for large numbers of files - create a lot of strategic sub-directories - otherwise directory commands take forever.
There is no cure for the time these commands take except to to get your directory under control.
This is one way that does not require tail, which is slower than head.
I'm writing a script to find the oldest file in a directory. I know this can be done by using ls -rt | tail -1 but these are rather large directories and that can be somewhat slow since the script will be running constantly.
Are there any other ways to do this that would be faster? I looked to... (2 Replies)
Hi all,
I need your assistance in removing the oldest file in a directory.
I posted the same thread 3 days back and I got the following answer
ls -1 -t | tail -1 | xargs rm
which is not covering the case when there are directories older than the oldest file.
So, could you please... (2 Replies)
I'm trying to write a script that will look in an /exports folder for the oldest export file and move it to a /staging folder. "Oldest" in this case is actually determined by date information embedded in the file names themselves.
Also, the script should only move a file from /exports to... (6 Replies)
I am using a bash script to perform some automated maintenance on files in a directory. When I run the script using $sh -x script.sh <directory> the script works fine. It sets the variable to the oldest file, and continues on. However when I run the script like this $./script.sh <directory>, it... (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.

Thanks in advance for your help

Hey! I have found similar posts both here and on other sites regarding this, but I cannot seem to get my script to work. I want to delete the oldest file in a test directory if there are more than two files. My script is currently:
#!/bin/bash
MEPATH=/usr/local/bin/test

There are some 25,000 files in 7,000 directories in my source library and I am trying to find oldest files. I am running this find:

svn::web::blame
SVN::Web::Blame(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation SVN::Web::Blame(3pm)NAME
SVN::Web::Blame - SVN::Web action to show blame/annotation information
SYNOPSIS
In config.yaml
actions:
...
blame:
class: SVN::Web::Blame
action_menu:
show:
- file
link_text: (view blame)
...
DESCRIPTION
Shows a specific revision of a file in the Subversion repository, with blame/annotation information.
OPTIONS
rev The revision of the file to show. Defaults to the repository's youngest revision.
If this is not an interesting revision for this file, the repository history is searched to find the youngest interesting revision
for this file that is less than "rev".
TEMPLATE VARIABLES
at_head A boolean value, indicating whether the user is currently viewing the HEAD of the file in the repository.
context Always "file".
rev The revision that has been returned. This is not necessarily the same as the "rev" option passed to the action. If the "rev"
passed to the action is not interesting (i.e., there were no changes to the file at that revision) then the file's history is
searched backwards to find the next oldest interesting revision.
youngest_rev
The youngest interesting revision of the file.
mimetype
The file's MIME type, extracted from the file's "svn:mime-type" property. If this is not set then "text/plain" is used.
blame_details
An array of hashes. Each entry in the array corresponds to a line from the file. Each hash contains the following keys:
line_no
The line number (starting with 0) in the file.
revision
The revision in which this line was last changed.
author
The author of the revision that changed this line
date
The date on which the line was changed, formatted according to "Time and date formatting" in SVN::Web.
line
The contents of this line.
EXCEPTIONS
None.
