How to extract the day of the year and use that info to copy a file remotely
Hello,
Thank you in advance for helping a newbie who is having great trouble with this simple task.
I'm allowed to copy one file remotely each night due to bandwidth restrictions.
A new file gets generated once a day, and I need to copy the previous day's file.
Here is what I'd like to do:
write a program that gets fired off from a listing in the crontab file:
1) detect/calculate the day of the year (example: Feb 28 = day 59).
2) Append the day of year onto a file name (example: big_file_169.data)
3) Do a remote copy using scp or rsync or something.
and that's it.
I'm using a bash shell but can switch to a tshell if that helps.
Thanks again in advance.
Tom
