Shell script to delete specify directory

I have the following directories under "0.0.0.0"

Code:

/scratch/builds/snapshotBuilds/0.0.0.0
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-571
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-576
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-597
drwxr-xr-x+  600
drwxr-xr-x+  601
drwxr-xr-x+  602
drwxr-xr-x+  603
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-604
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-605
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-606
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-608
drwxr-xr-x+  613
drwxr-xr-x+  tested-614
drwxr-xr-x+  617
drwxr-xr-x+  618
drwxr-xr-x+  619
drwxr-xr-x+  620
drwxr-xr-x+  621
drwxr-xr-x+  622
drwxr-xr-x+  623
drwxr-xr-x+  624
drwxr-xr-x+  631
drwxr-xr-x+  632
drwxr-xr-x+  635

And Here is my requirement, please help me to write a shell script i.e.
from the above list, i want to rename directory 621 to tested-621 and the shell script should KEEP (dont not delete) builds 620, tested-621 and 622 and delete rest of the directories before 620 and after 621 (tested-621). Please note, I want to keep all the directories that are starting with tested-xxxx

Could you please help?

I found the following command in the forum:

Code:

find . -type d | awk '!/\.\/tested*/' | xargs -p rm -rf

But this will keep all the directories that are starting with tested* and delete rest all the directories. But, i want to keep all the tested* directories plus keep build+1 and build -1. For example, under "0.0.0.0" directory say build 50 is renamed to tested-50 then Your script should KEEP build 49, tested-50, 51.

fdmns

fdmns(4)						     Kernel Interfaces Manual							  fdmns(4)

NAME

       fdmns - contains file domain names and devices

DESCRIPTION

       The  fdmns directory ensures access to file domains by providing symbolic links to every volume in the file domain.  The mkfdmn, rmvol, and
       addvol utilities automatically manage the fdmns directory.  Each file domain is described by its own subdirectory within the  fdmns  direc-
       tory.

       Back  up  the fdmns directory structure regularly using the vdump utility or any other backup utility (dump, tar, cpio). If the contents of
       the fdmns directory are deleted or corrupted, restore the directory from your most recent backup tape.  You must  also  restore	the  fdmns
       directory after installing a new version of the operating system.

       Always  keep  a hardcopy record of each file domain and its associated volumes in case a backup copy of the fdmns directory is unavailable.
       If you have a record, you can reconstruct the fdmns directory structure. The following is a sample fdmns directory:

       total 2 drwxr-x---     2 root	system	  512 Nov 24 18:35 scratch/ drwxr-xr-x	   2 root    system    512 Nov 24 18:35 usr/

	./scratch: total 0 lrwxr-x---	  1 root    system    10 Oct 23 15:13 dsk10c@ ->  /dev/disk/dsk10c  lrwxr-x---	   1  root    system	10
       Oct 24 11:33 dsk11c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk11c lrwxr-x---     1 root	 system     9 Oct 13 18:29 dsk8c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk8c

	./usr:	total  0 lrwxr-x---	1 root	  system     9 Oct 24 10:52 dsk2g@ -> /dev/disk/dsk2c lrwxr-x---     1 root    system	  9 Nov 24
       10:35 dsk9c@ -> /dev/disk/dsk9c

RESTRICTIONS

       Do not remove or modify the contents of this directory.	If the fdmns file becomes corrupted, you can no longer access (or mount) any file-
       set in the file domains.
