Can anyone help me out with a script (sh or Perl, doesn't matter) that will
recursively go through any directories I specify on the command line to move
old files to a new directory while retaining the original directory path?
ie:
/home/oldfile1
/home/olddir/oldfile2
/home/olddir/oldfile3
running the script as "script /home" will move the files to /archive so it
looks like this:
/archive/oldfile1
/archive/olddir/oldfile2
/archive/olddir/oldfile3
I don't mind tweaking the script to force a date to compare against (say, to
move any files older than September 30, 1999) or the destination location.
I'm just not that skilled at shell scripts and just spent two days manually
traversing directories moving old files to an archive directory and figure
there's GOTTA be an easier way.
Thanks for any assistance,
