Make sure that the trailing slash on your destination directory is present, also depending n your shell you may have to change how you pass the name variable.
On the basis of above command i have written the below shell script. Could you please verify whether it is correct or not.
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
echo "Wait until the script completes. This will take 1-2 minutes"
sleep 2
echo "Finding 90 days before files in the server. Output will be location of files:"
cd /opt/psoft/scripts
find /opt/psoft/projects -name "*.gz" -mtime +90 -exec mv {} /opt/psoft/projects/scripts/ \; > result_file.txt
if [ -s result_file.txt ]
then
echo "Script completed successfully. Below files were found:"
sleep 2
cat result_file.txt
else
echo "No files found " .
fi
exit 0

Reason: Added code tags.
will never write anything into result_file.txt. The only output that find command will produce will be diagnostics produced by mv if an attempt to move a file fails (and that goes to stderr; not stdout).
Some systems have a non-standard mv -v option that might give you what you want, but reporting that files were moved successfully without checking stderr output and without checking the exit status of find is clearly inappropriate with your script as it currently stands.
And, why save output into a file if you're just going to copy it to stdout later? The following is completely untested, but seems to more closely fit what I assume you were trying to do:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
cd /opt/psoft/scripts || exit 1
echo "Finding files that are 90+ days old in the server. Output will be a list of files to be moved:"
if find /opt/psoft/projects -name "*.gz" -mtime +90 -print -exec mv {} /opt/psoft/projects/scripts/ \;
then echo 'Script completed successfully.'
else echo 'One or more errors are reported above.'
exit 2
fi
And, as gull04 suggested, you should change:
Code:
-exec mv {} /opt/psoft/projects/scripts/ \;
in that script to:
Code:
-exec echo mv {} /opt/psoft/projects/scripts/ \;
until you have verified that the script correctly identifies the files you want to move and correctly specifies the mv operands that will do what you want to do.
I have modified the 90 day instead of 1 day. Please find the original script which i have tried but no luck
Code:
#!/usr/bin/bash
cd /var/opt/projects/apps/temp || exit 1
echo "Finding files that are 90+ days old in the server. Output will be a list of files to be moved:"
if find . -name "*.gz" -mtime +1 -print -exec mv {} /var/opt/projects/apps/ \;
then echo 'Script completed successfully.'
else echo 'One or more errors are reported above.'
exit 2
