A script require:

[Deepu Chakravarty]

I require a script which does the following:
1.Accept a date
2.From the directory where the script is being run, Move all files which mathes with the accepted date to different directory location.
3.Archive those moved files to a tar format file
4.gzip the tar file.

Validation checks in the script:
1.Accepted date should be present in the directory in the form of a file.
2.Accepted date should not be a current system date and the date should be a date 3 days older than the current system date.

If either/both the validation checks fails the script should be run again with a proper message.

Hi

Start with man find -- look at "mtime" and "-exec" to action on the files the tar/gzip.

Also search the forum for "date hammer" it may be useful to you.

Many forum member could write this script for you but I feel that at least an attempt should be made by you.
