Hi,

Ok, can I ask you to just humor me here and tack the following to the end of the find statement as follows.

Code:
find . -name "*.gz" -mtime +1 -print -exec mv {} /var/opt/projects/apps/ \; > list.txt

And send me the output of the following;

Code:
cat list.txt

Followed by;

Code:
wc -l list.txt

When I run the command locally all seems to be OK for me;

Code:
-bash-3.2$ find bin/ -type f -mtime +10 -print -exec cp {} tmp/ \; > tfile.txt
-bash-3.2$ cat tfile.txt
bin/getpinglist.sh
bin/logger.sh
bin/template_snap.sh
bin/working
bin/SP_Template.sh
bin/estate_check.sh
bin/details.sh
bin/w_details.sh
bin/test.sh
bin/net_search.sh
bin/sshchpass.exp
bin/alive_list.sh
bin/qd_script.sh
bin/os-s-checkconfig
bin/delete_me.txt
-bash-3.2$ wc -l tfile.txt
      15 tfile.txt
-bash-3.2$

Regards

Hi ,

I have amended in to log file . It is working perfectly. But i observed the files are moving to different path which it seems the script is not working as expected.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "Finding files that are 90+ days old in the server.  Output will be a list of files to be moved:"

if find /var/opt/projects/apps/. -name "*.gz" -mtime +1 -print -exec echo  mv {} /var/opt/projects/apps/temp/ \; >file1.txt
then    echo 'Script completed successfully.'
else    echo 'One or more errors are reported above.'
        exit 2
fi

O/p

Code:
mv /var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.39455717678172897.gz /var/opt/projects/apps/temp/
/var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.42892912234008185.gz

O/p

Code:
mv /var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.39455717678172897.gz /var/opt/projects/apps/temp/
/var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.42892912234008185.gz

With the script you have shown us the output should either:
Code:
Script completed successfully.

or:
Code:
One or more errors are reported above.

Not:
Code:
mv /var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.39455717678172897.gz /var/opt/projects/apps/temp/
/var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.42892912234008185.gz

If the output produced by the script was:
Code:
Script completed successfully.

and the contents of file1.txt was:
Code:
mv /var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.39455717678172897.gz /var/opt/projects/apps/temp/
/var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.42892912234008185.gz

and you want to actually move /var/opt/projects/apps/./temp/tmp0.39455717678172897.gz to /var/opt/projects/apps/temp/tmp0.39455717678172897.gz, remove the echo from the script.
