I have a folder which contain the log files. The folder may contain sub folders as well. I want to move the contents of the log folder to tmp folder periodically. I have used the command.
but, the problem is that this command moves all the files in the same folder and source folder structure (sub-folders) is not maintained in the destination directory.
No success, as it gives 'bad Option -maxdepth' error.
Actually, my scenerio is that I have a folder name 'Messages' and contains subfolders 'message1', 'message2', 'message3', 'message4' and so on. I want to move the folder Messages to the destination directory say 'Logs' and want that directory structure in the destination remains the same. But, when i use the above find command, all the files in the subfolder are placed in the same folder.
Is there any other way through which i can move files older than, say 5 days, to another location, while maintaining the directory structure of the source
Actually, I made a mistake. :-) I edited my post to correct it, but obviously wasn't fast enough. Anyway, my update was also incorrect...
Let's say you have a file, Messages/message3/someoldlogfile.log, dirname would pull out the "Messages/message3" component, and sed converts it to "Logs/message3".
The second line tests whether this directory exists, and if not, creates it.
