Simultaneous searching for files (names matching certain criteria) in several directo
Hello everyone,
My OS is AIX 5.2
I would like some help in getting command syntax that does the following:
1. Searches simultaneously several directories downward;
2. Checks every subdirectory in each directory (and so on...) for file names that contain certain characters such as “~”, start or end (or both) with “# “sign, start with “tset”;
3. Displays these files first with the option of deletion;
4. Or: one command for displaying and another for deleting
Thank you to all responders.

torrus_rrddir2xml

TORRUS_RRDDIR2XML(8)						      torrus						      TORRUS_RRDDIR2XML(8)

NAME

       rrddir2xml - Searches a directory for RRD files and generates Torrus XML configuration file.

SYNOPSIS

       torrus rrddir2xml --dir=DIR [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       rrddir2xml searches in a given directory for RRD files and creates Torrus XML configuration file suitable for browsing ofthose data files.

       With default options, it is usable for RRD files generated by Torrus' SNMP collector, where the file name starts with the host name,
       separated by underscore from interface name or other MIB specifics. With these defaults, it creates a subtree per each host name, and all
       RRD files belonging top that host name are sorted alphabetically in that subtree.

OPTIONS

       --dir=DIR
	   Absolute path to the directory for searching. The directory may contain also non-RRD files. Only regular files are processed, and the
	   symlinks are ignored.

       --recursive
	   If specified, the directory will be searched recursively. All file names across all subdirectories must be unique. Symlinks to other
	   directories are ignored.

       --filter=Regexp
	   If the filter is specified, then rrddir2xml lists only those files and subdirectories whose names match the given regular expression.

       --out=FILE
	   Output XML file name. If relative path given, the file is placed in /etc/torrus/xmlconfig. Default: rrddir.xml.

       --subtree=SUBTREE
	   Top subtree path in the generted XML. Default is the top of the tree ("/").

       --split=REGEXP
	   Regular expression used for splitting the file name into parts to build the subtree hierarchy. Default is a sequence of underscores
	   ("_+").

       --levels=INTEGER
	   Number of levels of hierarchy to build by splitting the file names.	Default is 2 levels.

       --comment=TEXT
	   Text to put as "comment" parameter to the top subtree.

       --holtwinters
	   If specified, Holt-Winters prediciton boundaries and failures are displayed in the graphs.

       --verbose
	   Prints extra diagnosics.

       --debug
	   Prints debugging information.
