Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi masters

I am in search for a script i am unable to write,I am not getting a proper logic .Could u pls help me ?

I have a program that will create the directory named thatday date (eg :08.24.10) .This progam runs daily and creates directories according to date.

Now i want to write a script so that it runs every monday and should look into last 7 days directory files and grep the line Job Name : EDWAD101 :: WOD : Status: Success :: Started : 00:45:47 Completed :: 00:45:47 from all the files in that directory

This output should be appended in a txt file so that that file will have the full status of jobs which was run in the last week

Waiting for your early reply

Thax in advance

Fist suggestion is, date format in file name or folder name as 20100824 will be more easier for scripting and comparing than format as 08.24.10

Then yo need GNU date to simplify your script as below:

Code:

d=$(date -d "yesterday" +%Y%m%d)

find *$d* -type f -name "*$d*" -exec grep "Success.*Completed" {} \; >> $d.report.log

Hi

What does d=$(date -d "yesterday" +%Y%m%d) do ?

Our program creates a directory name as you said .Excellent guess appreciate that

Thanks for all the help

Code:

date -d "yesterday" +%Y%m%d    # will get the day of yesterday

then assign it to $d
