What I was thinking the config file would look like is something like this:

Code:
<directory> <filetype> <daterange>

so maybe an example would be like:

Code:
\markdir\ *.csv Feb 04 13:35
\markdir\ *.gz Jan 22 15:50
\markdir\ *.mdl Dec 14 2014
\markdir\ *.tlg Aug 01 2014
\markdir\ *.zdf Mar 05 2013

The dates are listed by mm dd hh:mm if in the current year, and mm dd yyyy if in the previous year. This makes it sort of complex I think. Thank you so much for your help!

I think I can be more clear with this, so let me try Smilie

I need the script to run at 0700, and check multiple directories for newly created files. The directories to check, and extensions therein can be specified by the config file. If newly created files exist, then move them to a temp directory.

So I guess the config file really only needs the directory to look in, and the extension to check.

Example:

Code:
\markdir\ *.csv

So it will check \markdir\ to see if there are any file(s) whose creation date matches the current date.

Is that more clear? I hope I did not make more complexity.

apt-extracttemplates [-hv] [-t=temporary directory] file... DESCRIPTION
apt-extracttemplates will take one or more Debian package files as input and write out (to a temporary directory) all associated config scripts and template files. For each passed in package that contains config scripts and templates, one line of output will be generated in the format: package version template-file config-script template-file and config-script are written to the temporary directory specified by the -t or --tempdir (APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir) directory, with filenames of the form package.template.XXXX and package.config.XXXX OPTIONS
All command line options may be set using the configuration file, the descriptions indicate the configuration option to set. For boolean options you can override the config file by using something like -f-,--no-f, -f=no or several other variations. -t, --tempdir Temporary directory in which to write extracted debconf template files and config scripts. Configuration Item: APT::ExtractTemplates::TempDir -h, --help Show a short usage summary. -v, --version Show the program version. -c, --config-file Configuration File; Specify a configuration file to use. The program will read the default configuration file and then this configuration file. If configuration settings need to be set before the default configuration files are parsed specify a file with the APT_CONFIG environment variable. See apt.conf(5) for syntax information. -o, --option Set a Configuration Option; This will set an arbitrary configuration option. The syntax is -o Foo::Bar=bar. -o and --option can be used multiple times to set different options. SEE ALSO
