Shell Programming and Scripting

Hey I tried with braces.., but no luck

find /root/dun/ -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360 -exec mv {} \sune\dan\;

What's your error? Is \sune\dan a valid location? You need to escape the ";" at the end.

Code:

 find /root/dun -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360 -exec mv {} \sune\dan\ \;

Maybe try

Code:

 find /root/dun/ -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360 |  xargs mv -t \sune\dan\ \;

I'm an xargs fan instead of a -exec switch fan. Just personal preference

Hey I have tried with braces but ..it's not moving teh files


find /root/dun/ -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360 -exec mv {} \sune\dan\;

the command is working properly but I am not getting the required output

Ok, so A: \sune\dan is not a valid directory. /sune/dan would be valid. B: My last post should work fine if you give a valid directory. Run

Code:

 find /root/dun/ -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360

and see if that finds your files. Then add on the rest. You need to give more information about what happens.

I am doing as below.

I did a pwd on my source directory it is showing as

/root/poc/

and I did a pwd on my target directory it is showing as

/sune/dan/

I executed the following code

find /root/poc/ -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360 | xargs mv -t sune\dan\ /;

I am getting the below error

mv: cannot stat `;': No such file or directory

and when I am executing

find /root/poc/ -type f -name "*.*" -amin +2

the command is listing the files as below

/root/poc/prakash.txt

some how mv is not happening.

Your solidus and reverse solidus characters are muddled. Also there needs to be a space character before \; at the end of the line:

Try:

Code:

find /root/dun/ -type f -name "*.log" -amin +360 -exec mv {} /sune/dan/ \;

Lol I showed him that in post #9 but he doesn't acknowledge either one of those answers and keeps flipping em back to \. I have asked a few times about the slashes and get no response.
