Many thanks for your response and sorry for missing information. I have Solaris 9 running on my machine and using bourn shell.
I have used your code but got the following error.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
SRC_DIR='/opt/TGS/traces'
DEST_DIR='/dump/old_traces'
cd "$SRC_DIR"
ls -l RtpTrcError* | grep -F "$(printf '%(%b %e)T\n' "1 day ago")" |
while read _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ name
do zip "$DEST_DIR/$name.zip" "$name"
done
Please use CODE tags for sample input and output as well as for code segments.
On Solaris 9 systems, you could change grep -F to /usr/xpg4/bin/grep -F or fgrep or (a little bit slower, but OK in this case) just grep, but the Korn shell on Solaris 9 systems is a 1988 version of the Korn shell and you need a 1993 version for it to recognize the time formatting options in printf.
For a one day shift, there is an alternative adjusting the TZ environment variable and using the date utility. For example, if someone was in Pakistan where the time is 5 hours ahead of Greenwich, the normal TZ setting would be something like TZ=PKT-5, to move it back one day use TZ=PKT19 as in:
Code:
fgrep "$(TZ=PKT19 date '+%b %e')"

Is there a way to copy a file and compress it at the same time?
I realize the file can be copied and then compressed, but I was wondering if it's possible to do it in a one-line command and for that matter, if it would be more efficient to perform the operation with a one-line command?
Thanks. (5 Replies)
