Script advice
All
I have 2 parent directories - input and output. Each parent has multiple sub-directories...each sub-directory has multiple files. Each parent directory structure is a mirror image of itself
I need to poll the imput directory and if a new file is found, encrypt the file, move the file to its mirror image (output directory) and then delete itself from the input directory
I apprciate I can use cron to poll the directories and use find to list the files but what would be an elagant solution to this request.
This is what I think I can do so-far .....
<at parent directory>find . -type f -mtime -l -exec <encript file> | -exec mv
... but how do I mv the file to its mirror image directory location ?
Any advise / solution would be great
Thanks in advance

NAME
dir - format of directories on short-name HFS file systems
SYNOPSIS
Remarks
This entry describes the System V-compatible directory format for the HFS file system. It is provided strictly for backward compatibility
and compatibility with applications expecting a System V file system environment. It is not compatible with the similar but more general
HFS directory format in which describes a format identical to that used in an HFS file system supporting long file names up to 255 bytes in
length.
The structure defined in should be used in conjunction with the directory(3C) routines for portability to other industry UNIX implementa-
tions.
DESCRIPTION
A directory behaves exactly like an ordinary file, except that no user can write into a directory. The structure of a directory entry as
given in the header file is:
By convention, the first two entries in each directory are for and (``dot'' and ``dot dot''). The first is an entry for the directory
itself. The second is for the parent directory. The meaning of is modified for the root directory of the master file system; there is no
parent, so and have the same meaning.
