Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Searching for a files based on current date directory Post 303041231 by israr75 on Tuesday 19th of November 2019 03:51:59 AM

@RudiC Thanks for the reply. that's what I used, I scripted it something like:

Code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
now=$(date)
list_dir=$(date +'%Y/%m/%d')
echo /dir1/dir2/dir3/${list_dir}
and output = /dir1/dir2/dir3/2019/11/19/

The idea was to run this and get me the time of how often a file is put in that directory so I can measure latency. So I have files in there and running my script I get a time return of the last file in the /dir1/dir2/dir3/2019/11/19/ location
Code:
2019-11-19+11:36:40.7135938570

How can I do a time diff between above output and systime and then depending on difference it shows me different messages.

May be a simple question for experts here.... I need to get the list of files older than 30 days in the current folder. I tried "find", but it searches recursively in all the sub directories. Can I restrict the recursive search and extract the files only from current directory ? (18 Replies)

NAME
mhddfs - The driver combines a several mount points into the single one. SYNOPSIS
mhddfs /dir1,/dir2[,/path/to/dir3] /path/to/mount [-o options] mhddfs /dir1 dir2,dir3 /mount/point [-o options] ... fusermount -u /path/to/mount fstab record example: mhddfs#/path/to/dir1,/path/to/dir2 /mnt/point fuse defaults 0 0 mhddfs#/dir1,/dir2,/dir3 /mnt fuse logfile=/var/log/mhddfs.log 0 0 OPTIONS
with an -o option1,option2... you can specify some additional options: logfile=/path/to/file.log specify a file that will contain debug information. loglevel=x 0 - debug messages 1 - info messages 2 - standard (default) messages mlimit=size[m|k|g] a free space size threshold If a drive has the free space less than the threshold specifed then another drive will be choosen while creat- ing a new file. If all the drives have free space less than the threshold specified then a drive containing most free space will be choosen. Default value is 4G, minimum value is 100M. This option accepts suffixes: [mM] - megabytes [gG] - gigabytes [kK] - kilobytes For an information about the additional options see output of: mhddfs -h DESCRIPTION
The file system allows to unite a several mount points (or directories) to the single one. So a one big filesystem is simulated and this makes it possible to combine a several hard drives or network file systems. This system is like unionfs but it can choose a drive with the most of free space, and move the data between drives transparently for the applications. While writing files they are written to a 1st hdd until the hdd has the free space (see mlimit option), then they are written on a 2nd hdd, then to 3rd etc. df will show a total statistics of all filesystems like there is a big one hdd. If an overflow arises while writing to the hdd1 then a file content already written will be transferred to a hdd containing enough of free space for a file. The transferring is processed on-the-fly, fully transparent for the application that is writing. So this behaviour simu- lates a big file system. WARNINGS The filesystems are combined must provide a possibility to get their parameters correctly (e.g. size of free space). Otherwise the writing failure can occur (but data consistency will be ok anyway). For example it is a bad idea to combine a several sshfs systems together.
