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
