Shell Programming and Scripting

Chubler_XL,

Thank you for the suggestion! That worked great other than one small issue....it takes the archive folder itself and all of its contents and places them under the newarchive folder.

IE:
before the move
/names/company1/archive/<a bunch of subfolders>
/names/company1/newarchive/

after the move
/names/company1/archive/
/names/company1/newarchive/archive/<a bunch of subfolders>

I need it to take the contents of the archive folder and move them to the newarchive folder.

IE:
before the move
/names/company1/archive/<a bunch of subfolders>
/names/company1/newarchive/

after the move
/names/company1/archive
/names/company1/newarchive/<a bunch of subfolders>

Thank you!

BTW, I fixed the issue I pointed out by making these simple changes:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
for arch in */archive/*
do
   newarch="${arch%archive/*}archivenew"
   if [ -d "$newarch" ]
   then
      rsync -a --remove-source-files "$arch" "$newarch"
      find "$arch" -mindepth 0 -type d -delete
   fi
done
