If daily directory created and I start weekly, it is anyway getting to daily directory.

to English and explain what you are trying to do.

The code you have shown us does absolutely nothing if the three directories it is looking for do not exist (assuming we get past the syntax errors). If the directories do exist, you have three do loops with no matching dones.

If the code you have shown us in your script is placed after the exec command that processes your daily, weekly, monthly files; it will NEVER be run anyway.
