Hi John,
AH, use variables to set the date and then process by date.
simplicity is elegance :)
Now question,
how does that work if say you run the script on 04/01/06? Will it recognize
the day before as 03/31/06 or will it try to say it is 04/00/06?
Well it depends. What files will be subject to archiving? Will there
only be the files you wish to archive [selectable by wildcard] plus the
present day? If so yes - it will work. It will see that today is
04/01/06 and exclude that from the archive [because of the -f switch]
and archive/add to the archive the rest of the files. If however you
have a multitude of files by date and need to pick and choose which
files to archive the script needs to be modified.
As Andrew knows, I am extremely poor on scripting and command line.
Andrew can be a little judgmentally harsh at times. I have felt your pain.
FYI, I will not be around tonight or Tuesday so I may not respond until
Wednesday morning.
Enjoy!
-Nick
