Network for file in ???? - command
using <B>Bourne shell</B> how can I list all files in such a directory that file name don't match a pattern.

e.g:
a dir. /mydir contains these files
[tamer001]-/mydir$ ls
2001-01-23.log
2001-01-23_08-30.log
2001-01-23_15-59.log
2001-01-24_00-00.log
2001-01-24_11-52.log
2001-01-24_18-34.log
2001-01-25.log
2001-01-25_13-30.log

I want to move all files except the files of 25th of the month (which is today files) and rename the files by adding a string to the begining of the file name.

so here what I did:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/sh
dir=/var/dist
cd /mydir

for file in *.log
do
 if [ -f $file ]
  then
    if /usr/bin/mv $file $dir/access_log_$file
    then
        echo "$file : moved to $dir successfuly "
    else
        echo "can not move or rename access_log_$file"
    fi
  fi
done

how can I exclude moving today log files from the dir /mydir ?

please help.

nislog

nislog(1M)						  System Administration Commands						nislog(1M)

NAME

       nislog - display the contents of the NIS+ transaction log

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/nislog [-h num | -t num]  [-v] [directory...]

DESCRIPTION

       nislog  displays  the  contents of the NIS+ server transaction log on the standard output. This command can be used to track changes in the
       namespace. The /var/nis/trans.log file contains the transaction log maintained by the NIS+ server. When updates occur, they are	logged	to
       this  file  and	then  propagated  to replicas as log transactions.  When the log is checkpointed, updates that have been propagated to the
       replicas are removed.

       The nislog command can only be run on an NIS+ server by superuser. It displays the log entries for that server only.

       If directory is not specified, the entire log is searched. Otherwise, only those logs entries that correspond to the specified  directories
       are displayed.

OPTIONS

       -h num	       Display num transactions from the ``head'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is  0, only the log header is displayed.

       -t num	       Display	num transactions from the ``tail'' of the log. If the numeric parameter is  0, only the log header is displayed.

       -v	       Verbose mode.

FILES

       /var/nis/trans.log      transaction log
