Need script to move critical files on the same server

[Vishal_1980]

Hello Experts,

I am having a production server on to which few files are generated on the path /usr/sap/STV/CRDVMGP01/logs.

On that path there are 2 files respectively : report_20140729 & report_20140730...

However i need to move the file for the yesterday to a /dump directory  as the size of the file is aprox 25 gig.

Doing that i need to keep todays file as it is on the path , just need to move yesterdays file to dump directory..

Thanks & have a great day ahead...

Are you saying that you need to just move a single file from one directory to another just once?  Or do you need to move the file for the previous day every day?

If you just need to move a file once, then just use the mv command.

If you need to move the previous days file every day that is a bit more difficult.

This short script should move the previous days file to the dump directory:

# cat mv_file.sh

#!/usr/bin/sh

YESTERDAY=$(perl -e 'use POSIX;print strftime "%Y%m%d",localtime time-86400;')

cd /usr/sap/STV/CRDVMGP01/logs
mv report_${YESTERDAY} /dump
