Thanks Mr Don C. It's really nice code and I still can't figure out why not move.

Quote:
#!/bin/ksh
cd /export/home/mytmp/test1
cld=0 # Current large directory
cutoff=${1:-1000000000} # Min file size to be considered "big"
lt1G_d=/export/home/mytmp/final # Directory to receive "small" files
ge1G_d_base="$lt1G_d" # Base directory name to receive "big" files
ge1G_d_cnt=5 # Number of directories for "big" files
printf "Prepare to move text files smaller than %s bytes to directory:\n" \
"$cutoff"
printf "\t%s\n" "$lt1G_d"
printf "and larger text files to directories:\n\t%s1 - %s%d\n" \
"$ge1G_d_base" "$ge1G_d_base" "$ge1G_d_cnt"
ls -ltr test*.txt | while read x x x x size x x x file
do if [ "$size" -ge "$cutoff" ]
then echo mv "$file" \
"$ge1G_d_base"$((cld = cld + 1 - (cld == ge1G_d_cnt)))
else echo mv "$file" "$lt1G_d"
fi
done
I run the code but somehow go to folder final, final1, final2....etc and didn't see the files move at all. I am missing something here. Could please help again? Thanks

OPTIONS

       The ftprestart command supports the following options:

       -V	Display program copyright and version information, then terminate.

EXAMPLES

       ftprestart: /export/home/ftp/etc/ftpd/shutdown.msg removed.
       ftprestart: /export/home/virtual1/etc/ftpd/shutdown.msg removed.
       ftprestart: /etc/ftpd/shutdown.msg removed.

       0	Successful completion.
