Anyways, below you will find some code to do that automatically (utilizing variant 2).
With help from stat from GNU coreutils:
Code:
ls *.log.[0-9]* | while read ofile; do
nfile=$(stat -c '%y' "$ofile")
nfile=${nfile%% *}
nfile=${nfile//-}
echo mv "$ofile" /path/to/another/bkp/dir/"$ofile"_"$nfile"
done
With help from find from GNU findutils:
Code:
find . -type f -name '*.log.[0-9]*' -printf 'mv "%f" "/path/to/another/bkp/dir/%f_%TY%Tm%Td"\n'
If you run the first approach and the output looks reasonable, removeecho from the code to perform the actual renaming/moving process.
If you run the second approach and the output looks reasonable, add | sh at the end of that long find command to perform the actual renaming/moving process.
Important: No matter which solution you might use, make sure you change /path/to/another/bkp/dir/ accordingly to reflect the your real backup directory.
