All my user has a directory called backup on each of their home 
directory. All files was a text file. I want to backup those file after 
a month had past using tar and delete the text files after I tar it.

Here is my some of the command I'm thinking of

Quote:
#!/bin/bash


DATE=`date --date="1 month ago" | awk '{print $2}'`

ls -l /home/user/Maildir/backup/ | grep $DATE | awk '{print $9}' | xargs 
tar crvf user-200910.tar.gz

I want to apply this command to all my users in the server. I just want 
to ask some guru in scripting.

Is my script suitable to what I need? Is there any possibility of 
bottleneck that might cause slow on the server? How can I apply this 
script to all user's backup dir and each has their own filename?
