[Solved] Find command is not working
Hello Friends,

I have a problem about a little script,

when i run the following two lines one by one on CLI then they work well:

Code:
/usr/bin/mkdir `perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime "%Y-%m-%d",localtime(time() - 30*24*60*60);'`
find . -type f -name "fuseesb.log.*" -mtime 30 2>/dev/null -exec cp -p "{}" /data/log/so/`perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime "%Y-%m-%d",localtime(time() - 30*24*60*60);'` ";"

But when i execute the script which is like the following they don't work, i don't see 30 days old files are coppied, any comments? i have tried it hard but could not find the cause of this issue

Code:
#!/bin/bash
TDY=`perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); print strftime "%Y-%m-%d",localtime(time() - 30*24*60*60);'`
NAME='fuseesb.log.'
PATH='/data/log/so'
DAY=30
cd $PATH
/usr/bin/mkdir "$TDY"
find $PATH -type f -name "$NAME*" -mtime $DAY 2>/dev/null -exec cp "{}" "$PATH/$TDY" ";"


any help appreciated!

KR,
EAGLE

service

service(8)						      System Manager's Manual							service(8)

NAME

       service - run a System V init script

SYNOPSIS

       service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]

       service --status-all

       service --help | -h | --version

DESCRIPTION

       service runs a System V init script in as predictable environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with current working
       directory set to /.

       The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT.  The  supported  values  of  COMMAND  depend  on  the
       invoked	script,  service  passes  COMMAND and OPTIONS it to the init script unmodified.  All scripts should support at least the start and
       stop commands.  As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the  start
       command.

       service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.

EXIT CODES

       service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.

FILES

       /etc/init.d
	      The directory containing System V init scripts.

ENVIRONMENT

       LANG, TERM
	      The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.

SEE ALSO

       /etc/init.d/skeleton,
       update-rc.d(8),
       init(8),
       invoke-rc.d(8).
