Find directories not containing foo, and copy foo to them

Hello all,

I have a situation where I have a web root directory with a few thousand users spread out into 100 subdirectories in a 00/firstname.lastname, 01/firstname.lastname, etc. hierarchy. I suddenly need to make sure that each of these user directories contains a default index.html file (about 1/3 of them don't).

I'm kind of a scripting newbie, so I'm having trouble with the mechanics. The thing that's most perplexing to me is to do a find in [00-99] -maxdepth=2 and search for all user directories that do not contain an index file (index.htm* and/or homepage.html).

I think if I can figure out how to search on that string, I can figure out how to put the index file where it doesn't exist, so what I really need to know is how to search for what's missing.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Dave

NAME

       getlosig - retrieve a logical signal

ORIGIN

       This  software  belongs	to  the  ALLIANCE CAD SYSTEM developed by the ASIM team at LIP6 laboratory of Universite Pierre et Marie CURIE, in
       Paris, France.

       Web : http://asim.lip6.fr/recherche/alliance/
       E-mail : alliance-users@asim.lip6.fr

SYNOPSYS

       #include "mlo.h"
       losig_list *getlosig(ptfig, index)
       lofig_list *ptfig;
       long index;

PARAMETERS

       ptfig		   Pointer to the figure in which the signal should be seeked

       index		   Index of the signal

DESCRIPTION

       getlosig looks in the list of signals of the logical model pointed to by ptfig for a signal identified by its index. This signal is unique,
       since the index is the signal identifier.

RETURN VALUE

       getlosig returns a pointer to the signal that matches the index.

ERRORS

       "*** mbk error *** illegal getlosig signal index doesn't exist in figure ptfig->NAME"
	      No signal has index as INDEX in the figure.

EXAMPLE

       #include "mlo.h"
       losig_list *get_sig_by_name(figname, index)
       char *figname;
       long index;
       {
	  return getlosig(getlofig(figname), index);
       }
