zipping files then remove the folders
Hi,

i am using the below script to zip the files with respect to their timestamp of the files.It is working fine.

For example lets take I have two files in this directory /path/folder1 with the timestamp as this month and previous month. When i run this script first time it is creating two folders under this directory path

path/folder1/oct_bkp_files
path/folder1/sep_bkp_files

also getting the zipped folders of these respectively.

when i un the script second time, again the zipped file

sep_bkp_files.zip is getting zip and and adding with the oct_bkp_files.zip folder.

If no files exixts in path/folder1 then it should come out and should not do anything.

i.e) If there is no files in path/folder1 directory then it should return "No Files exists to backup".
Code:
cd /path/folder1
if [ -f *.* ]; then
ls -lrt | awk -v '/^\-/{print $6,$NF}' | while read month filename
do
mkdir -p /path/folder1/${month}_bkp_files
mv ${filename} /path/folder1/${month}_bkp_files
zip -r ${month}_bkp_files.zip ${month}_bkp_files
done
else
echo "No Files exists to backup"
fi

Also please help me if this script can be write some more better way.

Thanks in advance!
