Operating Systems Linux Red Hat Error when executing script Post 302997002 by anaigini45 on Friday 5th of May 2017 06:57:06 AM

But I want to copy files with a certain date over from one dir to another.
How do i do this?

I tried using the for loop like this :

Code:
[root@L28tstream1 emokheng]# for (( i=16; i<20; i++ ));
> do
> cp -r * /home/emoaigin/;
> done
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/afterinstallforeign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/foreign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/afterinstallforeign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/foreign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/afterinstallforeign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/foreign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/afterinstallforeign.pl'? y
cp: overwrite `/home/emoaigin/foreign.pl'? y
[root@L28tstream1 emokheng]#

As you can see, it does the loop for times, (i.e copying 2 files 4 times).
This is not I want. What I want is for the script to recognize the files dated from the 16th to the latest date, and copy it over to the other directory, without repeating or overwriting like above.

Is this possible?
