I need a script that I can run  to move files from a directory based
on a certain date.
Such as move all files with the date Jan 20,2001 to a directory
archive.

Thanks,

Mark

use the 'find' command in conjunction with its date/time switches and
the -exec argument that 'find' has.  read the manpage for find for more

1. Archiving files in "date folders" based on date and time file generated

Hi,

Please consider the following: Normally files that are generated as
"results" files from service fulfillment events are stored in a
standard archive directory
called say "~/services_results/DD-MM-YYYY/Name_of_Results_File. This
essentially
means all files generated on July,16,2001 between 0:00:01 and 23:59:60
are
archived in the "~/services_results/16-07-2001" directory. The same
holds for each respective day and is very straight-forward.

However, due to operational issues there is now a need to do a split
whereby the service results files are stored in particular "date
folders" based on time of day generated as well. For example:

* If the service fulfillment events occur between "6AM.July.16.2001",
  and "6AM.July.17.2001", then the results files are to be stored in
the folder
  "~/services_results/16-07-2001.
* If the service fulfillment events occur between "6AM.July.17.2001"
and     "6AM.July.18.2001", then the results files are to be stored in
the folder       "~/services_results/17-07-2001".

This new methodology is to be employed indefinitely until operational
methods change at some unforeseen time in the future.

If someone has a rather quick "fix" for this scenario, it would be
greatly appreciated. The operating environment is Solaris.

Jeff
