hello to all,
in a directory there are list of files. /dir1/sub1/*
i want to move those files in /dir1/sub1/* to /dir1/sub2/*,
only if the file in /dir1/sub1/ is ten minutes older or more than the
current datetime.
i created a script but my problem is how do i know if file timestamp
is older than the current datetime. it's like this: current datetime -
file timestamp. how to do that in bash script?
here's my incomplete script :
#!/bin/env bash
SRCDIR=/dir1/sub1
DESDIR=/dir1/sub2
now=(current date)
cd $SRCDIR
for f in *
do
ftimestamp=(file timestamp)
if [ -f $f ]
then
if [ ($now - $ftimestamp) -ge (ten minutes) ]
then
mv $f $DESDIR
echo $f moved to $DESDIR
fi
fi
done
#script ends
TIA
