writing script to clean up a directory

I have to do a directory clean up on several machines. The task is as follows:
go to a particular directory (cd /xxx)
1. create a directory ' SCRIPTCLEANUP ' ( i KNOW IT)

loop through
2. List the directory

3. if directory and start with 'DQA' leave it,
4. if directory or file move it to the newly crated directory ( blanck directory delete)

5. It also requires to produce a report like this

The directory contains xx unnecessary files and yy directory. The details are as follows:


Directory



Files

endlook

i started but not complete
ssh to server
cd /xxx
mkdir scriptcleanup

for i in *
do

if [ -f $i || -d (^DQA $i) ]
mv $i ./scriptcleanup
fi

ech $ > report ( but i do not know how to insert in particular place like under Files or
Directory section in the output file. )


done


Note: I am working in ksh environment.

NAME
pg_buildext - Build and install a PostgreSQL extension SYNOPSIS
pg_buildext action srcdir target opts DESCRIPTION
pg_buildext is a script that will build a PostgreSQL extension in a VPATH way. It supports the configure, build, install, and clean actions, and will choose to build for the intersection of versions known in debian/pgversions (versions supported by the package) and in /usr/share/postgresql-common/supported-versions (versions supported in this release). OPTIONS
action One of configure, build, install, or clean. srcdir Where to find the extension sources, including the debian subdirectory. (Usually $(CURDIR).) If not specified, defaults to the current directory. target The target directory where to build the sources, it will get created for you if it does not exist. If the target contains a %v sign, it will get replaced by the specific version of PostgreSQL being built against. (Usually build-%v.) opts %v signs in opts will get replaced as in target. configure Options to pass to the configure script. (Most PostgreSQL extensions do not have a configure script.) build Custom CFLAGS options to use for the build. install Package name to install for. Make will be called with DESTDIR="srcdir/debian/package". clean clean does not take extra options. USAGE
As pg_buildext invokes make for the build, install, and clean actions, invocations from debian/rules (which is a makefile) should be prefixed with + so the sub-makes can talk with the make jobserver. EXAMPLE
build-stamp: +pg_buildext configure $(CURDIR) build-%v "--libdir=/usr/lib/postgresql/%v/lib --datadir=/usr/share/postgresql-%v-plsh" +pg_buildext build $(CURDIR) build-%v install: build +pg_buildext install $(CURDIR) build-%v postgresql-%v-plsh clean: +pg_buildext clean $(CURDIR) build-%v AUTHOR
