it's getting on ...

pwd>file1
mkdir -p `cat file1`


...didn't make it. without -p you can see that the system wanna create a folder (users/test1), but logical the folder already exists.


so it should be a loop like...

....
cd users/test1
pwd>file1
sed -e 's/test1/test2' file1 > file2
mkdir -p `cat file2`
....

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

by the way, how getting an input of a folder in a shell?

...
read fold1
$fold1 >file1
...

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

how it is possible to check date and time of some files?

just find files, that were created only a few minutes ago...

...

find . -name "*.exe" |sort -ctime 1

...

------------------------

...
read fold1
echo "$fold1" >file1
...
find . -name "*.exe" -mtime -1
