Check my script and correct the find command if wrong
Hello All,

Here I am trying to find all the directories whose name starts with EFS or HOTFIX like in below example and below is my code but I don’t know why this is not working correctly.


Code:
drwxr-xr-x 3 qabuild denccefs  4096 Sep 23 21:36 EFS110929A_SOURCE/
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qabuild denccefs   242 Oct 31 09:29 tt1*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qabuild denccefs   943 Oct 31 11:08 FetchCode*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qabuild denccefs  7250 Nov  1 08:12 FetchCode1*
drwxr-xr-x 3 qabuild denccefs  4096 Nov  2 06:49 EFS111027B_SOURCE/
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qabuild denccefs  7982 Nov  2 13:10 FetchCode2*
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qabuild denccefs  8083 Nov  2 15:25 FetchCode3*
drwxr-xr-x 3 qabuild denccefs  4096 Nov  2 17:18 EFS111013B_SOURCE/
-rw-rw-r-- 1 qabuild denccefs 60603 Nov  2 17:21 Default.aspx
-rw-rw-r-- 1 qabuild denccefs    11 Nov  3 03:24 NGGF_Release.txt
drwxrwxr-x 2 qabuild denccefs  4096 Nov  3 03:33 Temp/
-rwxrwxr-x 1 qabuild denccefs  8049 Nov  3 06:30 FetchCode4*

Code:
show_command()
{
 while [ $# -gt 0 ]
 do
  echo -e "\n";
  echo '=======================================================================================================================';
  echo "Command/s used for getting the list of files/output below is/are as follows:"; echo;
  echo "\$ ${1}"; echo;
  echo '=======================================================================================================================';
 
################################################################################################
## To make $n --> $n-1 i.e $1 will become $2 once the below "shift" command will be called.   ##
################################################################################################
 
  shift;
 done
}
 
SourceCodelogs()
{
 
cmd="find /efare1/home/qabuild/rohit -maxdepth 1 \( -name "EFS*" -o -name "HOTFIX*" \) -mtime -5 -type d -print 2>/dev/null";
#cmd="find /efare1/home/qabuild/rohit -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "*_SOURCE" -mtime +5 -print 2>/dev/null";
 
 show_command "${cmd}";
 
 for TARGET in `eval ${cmd}`
 do
  echo "1 --> * removing... ${TARGET}"
 # rm -frv ${TARGET}
 done
}
 
SourceCodelogs

See the below output when I run this command directly
Code:
[/efare1/home/qabuild/rohit] $ cmd="find /efare1/home/qabuild/rohit -name "EFS*" -mtime -5 -type d -print 2>/dev/null";
 
[/efare1/home/qabuild/rohit] $ echo $cmd
find /efare1/home/qabuild/rohit -name EFS110929A_SOURCE EFS111013B_SOURCE EFS111027B_SOURCE -mtime -5 -type d -print 2>/dev/null
 
[/efare1/home/qabuild/rohit] $ find /efare1/home/qabuild/rohit -name "EFS*" -mtime -5 -type d -print
/efare1/home/qabuild/rohit/EFS111013B_SOURCE
/efare1/home/qabuild/rohit/EFS111027B_SOURCE

Thanks

Isn't this working?
Code:
find /efare1/home/qabuild/rohit -maxdepth 1 -type d -name "EFS*" -o -name "HOTFIX*" -mtime +5 -print 2>/dev/null";
