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.

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

Name
       doconfig - a program to aid system configuration

Syntax
       /etc/doconfig [-c config_file] [-e ed_script]

Description
       The  shell  script modifies a copy of the GENERIC configuration file for a new ULTRIX system kernel.  The script prompts you for the system
       name.  If the system name does not currently exist, a system configuration file with that system name is built.

       Whether the configuration file is built or not, the script then allows you to edit, configure, and build until both the	configuration  and
       the kernel build run without errors.  Additional runs of can be made to tune the configuration further.

       When new hardware is added to a system, the configuration file should be updated to reflect the new system configuration.  When updating an
       existing configuration file or creating a new configuration file with the system must be operating the generic kernel or new  hardware  may
       not be found.  To successfully complete the process, follow these steps:

       1.   Save the running as

       2.   Move to

       3.   Reboot the system to single user mode.

       4.   Check file systems.

       5.   Mount the file system.

       6.   Run the program.  (When execution is complete, make a note of the message prints showing the path and location of the new

       7.   Move to

       8.   Copy the new (from the message noted above) to

       9.   Reboot the system.

Options
       -c     The  name  of  the  existing  configuration  file should be supplied without specifying the pathname.  This file should exist in the
	      directory.  A new kernel is built using the specified configuration file.

       -e     When specified, the configuration file is edited by the ed script before building the new kernel.
