Full Discussion: loop directories mv files to target in range
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting loop directories mv files to target in range Post 302527118 by jaysunn on Thursday 2nd of June 2011 12:59:16 PM

Hello,
Maybe I am not understanding your code correctly.
The files that I wish to move live in separate directories and the target directories are separate as well. That find command you have posted seems to just search . current working directory, it does not iterate through all of them from what I can tell. Also it looks like it is moving the files ../ back one directory.

Each time I run the command that I am using I need to increment the integer.

Command Set 1:
Code:
$FILES=`find /mnt/raw_vendor_data/raw_1_hist/primary/ -type f | xargs ls -l | grep May | awk '{print $NF}'`

$mv $FILES /mnt/raw_vendor_data/raw_data_archive/RAW_1_MAY_2011/

Command Set 2:
Code:
$FILES=`find /mnt/raw_vendor_data/raw_2_hist/primary/ -type f | xargs ls -l | grep May | awk '{print $NF}'`

$mv $FILES /mnt/raw_vendor_data/raw_data_archive/RAW_2_MAY_2011

So basically I run the 2 command sets 24 times. I will do automate this process.

cpu

CPU(1)							      General Commands Manual							    CPU(1)

NAME

       cpu - connection to cpu server

SYNOPSIS

       cpu [ -h server ] [ -c cmd args ...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Cpu  starts  an	rc(1) running on the server machine, or the machine named in the $cpu environment variable if there is no -h option.  Rc's
       standard input, output, and error files will be /dev/cons in the name space where the cpu command was invoked.  Normally, cpu is run in	an
       81/2(1)	window	on a terminal, so rc output goes to that window, and input comes from the keyboard when that window is current.  Rc's cur-
       rent directory is the working directory of the cpu command itself.

       The name space for the new rc is an analogue of the name space where the cpu command was invoked: it is the same except	for  architecture-
       dependent bindings such as /bin and the use of fast paths to file servers, if available.

       If a -c argument is present, the remainder of the command line is executed by rc on the server, and then cpu exits.

       The  name  space is built by running /usr/$user/lib/profile with the root of the invoking name space bound to /mnt/term.  The service envi-
       ronment variable is set to cpu; the cputype and objtype environment variables reflect the server's architecture.

FILES

       The name space of the terminal side of the cpu command is mounted on the CPU side on directory /mnt/term.

SOURCE

       /sys/src/cmd/cpu.c

SEE ALSO

       rc(1), 81/2(1)

BUGS

       Binds and mounts done after the terminal lib/profile is run are not reflected in the new name space.
