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 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.

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?)
PS: I'm on Ubuntu 10.04LTS, using DigiKam 1.2.0

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.

how to run a command on all files with the same extension in a directory like this:
Code:
tex breqn.dtx; tex empheq.dtx; tex flexisym.dtx; tex mathstyle.dtx; tex mathtools.dtx; tex mhsetup.dtx; tex xfrac.dtx;
but in a simpler manner? I found this: Code: find . -type f -name *.dtx -exec tex {} ; but isn't there something simpler?

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:
Quote:
find . -type f -name "*.tar" "*.gz" "*.zip" -print0 | xargs -0 -r mv /opt/test
It's not working, something wrong after "mv" i guess.

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 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'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 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?
