Shell Programming and Scripting

when I remove the inner while(while read line)
the script works.I put echo in order to see, if the inner while loop works, but no output is displayed.

hmmm, maybe the logic is wrong.
does the $blacklist file contains something ?

hi
if there is more than one filename inside bob.txt,script doesnt work.
However if there is only one file name inside bob.txt it works.
What should I do?


#!/bin/sh
days=10
temporal_folder=/tmp/`basename $0`-$$
blacklist=bob.txt

mkdir $temporal_folder

find /home -type f -atime +$days | \
while read file
do
while read line
do
if [ $line != $file ]; then
#is not a protected file
owner=`ls -l $file | awk ' { print $3 } '`
basename $file >> $temporal_folder/$owner
cp $file /tmp/old
fi
done < $blacklist #black list
done #find's output

i refuse to answer until you do the 3 things i have been telling you to do.
1) use code tags. i cant read that script, no indentation makes my eyes hurt
2) read this web page Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide until you actually understad what a loop is, what a redirection is, ect
3) at least try to use google or the forum search

This script is prone to the same condition as I described in https://www.unix.com/shell-programmin...directory.html if "mv" is used.

is the same user, that when i told him to search the forums, he just simly posted another thread
