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?

bb-datepage.cgi

BB-DATEPAGE.CGI(1)					      General Commands Manual						BB-DATEPAGE.CGI(1)

NAME

       bb-datepage.cgi - Xymon CGI script to view pre-built reports by date

SYNOPSIS

       bb-datepage.cgi?type={day,week,month} --url=URLPREFIX [options]

DESCRIPTION

       bb-datepage.cgi is invoked as a CGI script via the bb-datepage.sh CGI wrapper.

       bb-datepage.cgi	is  passed  a  QUERY_STRING  environment variable with the type of time-selection that is desired: Either "day", "week" or
       "month" can be requested. It will then generate a web form with appropriate day/week/month selection boxes, and based on the users'  selec-
       tion a resulting url is built from the URLPREFIX and the time selection.  The browser is then redirected to this URL.

       The  URL  is  constructed from the URLPREFIX, the type-parameter, the value of the "pagepath" or "host" cookie, and the users' selection as
       follows:

       type=day
	      The final URL is URLPREFIX/daily/YEAR/MONTH/DAY/PAGEPATH.

       type=week
	      The final URL is URLPREFIX/weekly/YEAR/WEEK/PAGEPATH.

       type=month
	      The final URL is URLPREFIX/monthly/YEAR/MONTH/PAGEPATH.

	      YEAR is the full year (4 digits, including century). MONTH is the two-digit number of the month (01..12). DAY is the number  of  the
	      day in the month (01..31). WEEK is the ISO 8601:1988 week-number (01..53). PAGEPATH is the current value of the "pagepath" cookie if
	      set; if it is not set but the "host" cookie is set, then this host is looked up in the bb-hosts file and the page where this host is
	      found is used for PAGEPATH. These two cookies are set by the default web-header templates supplied with Xymon.

OPTIONS

       --url=URLPREFIX
	      This specifies the initial part of the final URL. This option is required.

       --hffile=FILENAME
	      Specifies the template files (from $BBHOME/web/) to use. The default is "--hffile=report".

       --color=COLOR
	      Sets the background color of the generated webpage. The default is blue.

       --env=FILENAME
	      Loads the environment defined in FILENAME before executing the CGI script.

       --debug
	      Enables debugging output.

       $BBHOME/web/report_form_daily
	      HTML form template for the date selection form when type=daily.

       $BBHOME/web/report_form_weekly
	      HTML form template for the date selection form when type=weekly.

       $BBHOME/web/report_form_monthly
	      HTML form template for the date selection form when type=monthly.

       $BBHOME/web/report_header
	      HTML header file for the generated web page

       $BBHOME/web/report_footer
	      HTML footer file for the generated web page

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       BBHOME Used to locate the template files for the generated web pages.

       QUERY_STRING
	      Contains the parameters for the CGI script.
