Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I currently have the need to perform backup, naming the file by date. How do I get the script, you can choose the most current file or current date and then upload it? My script is related to this topic that is already closed.

Can anyone help me?

The most popular tool for this is 'find ... -newer' with a marker file. Just remember that UNIX time is in seconds, and you do not want to miss files dated on the critical second. I recall I touched a new marker file, waited a second, and then found and processed all files newer than old marker. Files last modified after that second as I ran find might get picked up again in the next run but be identical. You can tell find and not newer than new marker. Move the new marker to be the old marker at successful completion. Check all exit codes!

You can configure rsync and have backup be a continuous process if the output is another subtree or host.

Sorry, but I applied the command and did not return the result I wanted. For example, I have 2 files in a directory and they are named like this:

www-Wed-24-Oct-20-00.tar.gz and www-Wed-24-Oct-10-48.tar.gz

How should I apply the command so that it would return the file 8 o'clock that the most current ?

For the most current, something like:

Code:

ls -t | head -1

if its only for the same date and same month then try using this..

Code:

ls www* | sort  -t"-" -k5 -r

Yes, sometimes file get accidentally touched (updated modify time) when they did not change.

Hi, good afternoon. I've managed to get to the command that desire. It is this:

Code:

find /DIRECTORY -iname "*.sql" -mtime -1

Now, I want the output of this command, which is the value "db-Thu-25-Oct-20-00.sql" it is recognized by a file that will upload the same. I already have the upload script. I do not know how do I relate this value to my file upload. How do I do this?
