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

dh_movefiles

DH_MOVEFILES(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_MOVEFILES(1)

NAME

       dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_movefiles [debhelperoptions] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package
       build directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that
       up into subpackages.

       Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.

FILES

       debian/package.files
	   Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
	   also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedir=dir
	   Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire
	   contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must
	   be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole directory
	   will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.

NOTES

       Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
       than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built can be
       told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that remain are
       ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
