Hi All, Could someone tell me whats wrong with this script? The script should read a file(the file contains path of files to archive),and then tar the files in the path based on the date. The filetoarchive.txt looks like this: 30 /Gunners/Arsenal And the script: #!/bin/ksh # # Build list of files to archive # FileList=$PWD/filelist > $FileList while read DAYS ARCH_PATH do cd $ARCH_PATH find . \( -type d ! -name . -prune \) -o -type f -mtime +$DAYS | \ sed "s+^.+$PWD+" >> $FileList cd - done < filestoarchive.txt # # Tar all selected files using builded list # For some Unix flavour, the -L option is replaced by another option (-I, not sure) # tar -cvfl kay_`date +%d%m%y%H%M`.tar<$FileList # # Delete all tared files only if tar successful # if [ $? -eq 0 ] then while read file do rm -f $file done < $FileList fi Any file older than 30days in the file is archived. Could it be better?Or do u have any alternate script? Thanks Kayzone
