General :: Copying Files According To Modification Date And Extension?
Dec 30, 2010
I am trying to find a command which will copy all the files in the folder with extension ".log" which is created one day before the current date. By going through other threads in this forum I found the half solution to this problem
find /mnt/hd -mtime -1 -exec scp {} /mnt/usb ;
This command copying the all the files created one day before(not only *.log) to the /mnt/usb folder. what is the modification required to above command.
I'm looking for a method for modifying some jpg photo files last modification date with the corresponding timestamp creation date of each file.The reason is that shotwell import pictures in folders according to last modification date which is stupid on my opinion.
I have a folder with hundreds of .txt files (logs of some java application) that I have to merge in to one single .txt file. This application produces a new log file everyday:
day1: logFriday10September2010.txt day2: logSaturday11September2010.txt ... day8: logFriday17September2010.txt ... and so on...
I could merge the files easily with "cat" and ">>" however, the problem is that I have to do it by taking into account the date (creation or modification) of the file.
If I simple use the cat command the output file will receive for example, all Fridays in a row, then all Saturdays, etc. and in that way I'm not considering the date.
I've searched for the options of the find command, since the files after creation are not modified...I try to use this for example:
$ find . -newer <some old file>
but that lists me all files after that <old file> and not by correct date.
I am trying to configure logrotate on APP/DB servers.As per my backup policy,logs will compress in daily basis and and will be moved to a Central storage device.
My tomcat generate several application logs with date extension as well as .log extension.For eg app.log,app.log.2010-10-23-14,catalina.out,catalina.2010-10-25.log etc.
Currently my tomcat logrotation /etc/logrote.d/ #cat /etc/logroate.d/tomcat/ /usr/local/tomcat/logs/*log {
[code]....
But its rotating logs only with .log extension..ie app.log.2010-10-23-14 (with date extension) is not rotating.If i put "*" instead of "*log",its rotating all files including rotated files. How can i rotate files which is having date extension.Also i dont want to keep rotated logs for more than 3 days.
I'd like to change a files modification date "only" without changing the time. I'm aware of the 'touch' command but is seems like it only allows changing both the date and time, and not one of them. Any ideas on an easy way to change a file's modification date without also changing its time? (I have a long list of files and thus would like to run one to command to change them all)Example: Change a file's (month) timestamp from "2010-09-23 11:59:23" to "2010-10-23 11:59:23"Background: I accidentally set the wrong month on my camera and ended up with all photos having a modification timestamp with the wrong month.

This is what I have tried.
I want to search a Windows partition for all .doc and .xls files and move them over to Xubuntu to burn them to CD.
Is this easiest to do via terminal? I tried to use catfish and select all files, but I think my Mac keyboard (and USA standard keyboard settings) threw the select all files ability.
I just switched from a basic digital camera to a more advanced one that stores both Jpeg and Raw (.Nef - it's a Nikon) files for me.When importing files in Digikam, I rename the files so that they start with Date and Time. Example: 20110121-223748.JPG for a photo taken on Jan 21st 2011 at 22:37:48.I was a bit surprised when importing both the JPEG and the Raw version of the same photo, that the filename is different by a few seconds (no constant offset, sometimes they are the same):
20110121-223748.JPG 20110121-223750.NEF
I did some "research" by looking at the exif data of both files (using "exiftool 20110121-223748.JPG" from the command line). Here is what I got back
(amongst other data):20110121-223748.JPG File Modification Date/Time : 2011:01:21 22:37:48+01:00 Modify Date : 2011:01:21 22:37:48 Date/Time Original : 2011:01:21 22:37:48
[code]....
So it seems that Digikam is using the "File Modification Date/Time" (different in the Jpeg's and Raw's of my camera) rather than the "Create Date" (the same for both Jpeg and Raw). (The few seconds difference in "File Modification Date/Time" between the two versions of the same photo is probably due to the time that my camera needs to write away the data on the SD memory card. I guess.) Is there a way to have Digikam use the Create Date? (Or the Date/Time Original?)
I like ordering my images my date modified, but Eye of GNOME only lets you view them by alphabetical order.
Important features for me are: Going through items with the arrow keys. Zooming in and out with the mouse wheel. Being able to sort by modification date, type, or name. Being able to right click and open with either another window of the same viewer, or with another viewer. Having a simple interface
So far, I've tried:
Eye of GNOME - I love how simple it is, and if it wasn't for this sorting problem I'd keep using it. Well, that and the fact that you can't right click and open an image in a separate Eye of GNOME window while continuing to scroll images in the current window.
gThumb - Damn. So close to being a winner. Can't pass images with the arrow keys or zoom in and out with the mouse wheel, but I can sort by modification date, it's simple, and can open another window of the same viewer. But those first two points are also important for me.
Fspot - A little too cluttered when opening a single image. I don't really need to see a top panel with the other images, even if it's nice. I can go through images with the arrow keys, and zoom in and out, but no sorting by modification date.
Shotwell - Shotwell's viewer is pretty fast and simple, however it has lots of flaws for me: can't sort by modification date, can't zoom in and out with mouse wheel, can't open an image in another window while viewing it. At least it's simple and I can navigate with the arrow keys.
When I go in a file with pictures and right click on it I tell it to arrange pictures by modification date but when I start viewing the pictures and click on next then it shows them to me in Alphabetical order.I am using Eye of GNOME 2.32.0 to view picturesHow do I get this application to show me the pictures by modification date
I need this script but I don't know how to do it I have one folder with several folders inside.On each folder a have one MKV or AVI file inside...What I need is a script to change the "modification date" of each folder to the "modification date" of each MKV or AVI that the folder has inside.
Suppose there is a directory named mydir containing ... aaa.cpp aaa.h bbb.cpp bbb.h Makefile a b Where a,b are executable files. What I want to is to only copy a and b to another location. Is it possible? (other than by manually issuing copy a,b another_dir).
In Fedora, I used the ls -l command to see the directory listing. But I noticed that while all .c files were being shown in green , there was one .c file which was being shown in black.How can two files having the same extension be executable /normal?
I want to install Forms & Reports Developer Suite in Linux OS So I have downloaded Oracle Developer Suite 10g for Linux (Including Forms & Reports) as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk1.cpio as_linux_x86_ids_101202_disk2.cpio
So in the Oracle Documentation Site they have given Guide as Follows: To extract the cpio file, move the cpio file to an empty directory, then do: cat filename.cpio | cpio -icd .... but its not extracting.
I need little help. I want to find all files with extension "*.tar" "*.gz" and "*.zip" and move all those files into "/opt/old" directory. I've tried this command:
I have a new network attached storage unit that I'm trying to transfer my data to. On this NAS, it has a very basic linux installed with SSH enabled. Browsing through the programs installed on it, i found smbclient. Am I able to copy files directly from my old NAS to my new one using smbclient?It would sure beat transfering 950GB from my old NAS through a computer then onto my new NAS.
I am running openSUSE 11.2 KDE 4.3.4 on my ThinkPad R51 laptop.I would like to copy 'File A, File B, File C' (for example) that has photographs of a holiday , to a blank CD inserted into my drive and cannot find a way to 'copy and paste' into the volume.
i want such a shell script or single line command to delete all the files with extension specified in script i have bash !! ex... delete all files of extension .obj
I just read the Linux scp command issue question and it reminded me that I regularily forget to specify the colon in the host part of a scp command, and thus copying a file locally instead of copying to a remote host, e.g. I do scp foo host instead of scp foo host: But I never use scp to copy a file locally. So I wonder if there is a way to make scp fail if both (the source and destination) arguments refer to local files.
i am accessing linux through putty and i wrote somany programs in unix using putty and gedit but now i need to copy all files into windows. how to copy directory(linux) to folder(windows) without installing any softwares?If it is necessary to install software to copy files then tell me the process of using that software.
I'm trying to copy files from my current server to a new server. Both servers have SSH installed. These are the commands I'm using. However I'm getting connection refused. I did a google search and found out that maybe the reason of this error could be due to the fact that my current server doesn't have SSH. However I use SSH often on my current server so I can say that it has SSH for sure.

I need to copy a large number of files, it comes to 1 lakh from one server to another. When I tried various commands using scp , ftp etc. It is saying "Arg list too long". In which way can we copy all the files. The Two servers are under Linux.
I have 60+ directory's each containing multiple .doc files. I need to move them to a single directory and keep their file name intact. I don't think cp will do that with out listing all the file names. I was thinking of something like: cp -r /dir/*.doc /newdir . Or should I use a combo like find -type *.doc|cp /newdir?
I had a program run riot and it has created hundreds of spurious files in one directory. Fortunately they are all dated 4th November so are easily identified. What bash command can I use from the console to delete them all?
I've a directory containing around 2.8 lacs of files. I want to move them to another directory.If I use cp or mv then I get an error 'argument list too long'. If I write a script like
for file in ls *; do cp {source} to {destination} done
then because of ls command , its performance degrades.How can I do this?
I am facing problem in copying a large number of file 18 lakh (18,000,000) files from my personal hardisk to another hardisk each file is very small and size of folder is around 3.95 GB copying files using copy given by Windows is frustrating and I am not even able to compress file its giving me error that its not readable.And problem is I am not able to open this drive in Linux it showing me error there saying do diskchk in Windows and Windows disk check is also not able to repair this drive and goes into some mode unsolvable.Is there any way to open disk with error to open in Windows and if not any way I can copy data faster?ERROR: Disk labled EDU is corrupt go to windows and chkdsk /f there and reboot into window 2 times.
