find ./.netscape -name '*.htm*' -mtime -1 -print |
cpio -pdmuv /destination_directory
Do a man on cpio for all it's options, I know one is to ln rather than
cp, there may be a mv as well.
Otherwise
$ find ./.netscape -name '*.htm*' -mtime -1 -print |
cpio -pdmuv /destination_directory
$ [ $? -eq 0 ] && find ./.netscape -name '*.htm*' -mtime -1 -exec rm {} \;
This kind of question has come up a lot on this list, and all sorts of
solutions are offered including perl scripts and other strange techniques
but good old cpio never rates a mention. So what's the drum? Is cpio
just out of flavour or does it have some sort of fatal flaw in the Linux
implementation?
