How we can do this using script?
I have noticed that in the /etc directory there are some subdirectories of /etc/cron.daily and /etc/cron.hourly. Also I have determined that there is a service included as part of the Fedora OS 'crond' which I have started with the use of 'service crond start'. My question is this. If I drop an executable file into the '/etc/cron.daily' directory will it just run? If not what configuration files should I go about editing to run my executable daily? There seems to be a pretty large network of cron related files. I'm trying to make sense out of all of it.

I don't see any file gets written to the log directory. That suggests to me that cron didn't run the job, as confirmed by /var/log/syslog.
I am trying to remove all the files in a directory hierarchy which a certain string inside the file (not the file name, it is the file content).
I can list out all the file name which has a string in the file using 'grep -r -l mystringlooking for'.
But how can I remove all the files returned by the grep ? I am trying this on ubuntu.
the system currently have a directory with all the invalid files. how bad is it to move a single file to a directory containing 3 million files already?

I am stuck with one line where I would need a command which will remove all files from directory except some of them. Can anyone please advice how to add such an exception to the rm command?

There are other files that should not be deleted which is why I am using the "*.trc" and newer files need to be kept as well. I have seen other postings but they do not cover both of the conditions. Below are 2 of the many attempts at doing this but I cannot get this to work.

I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to have the files from /user/directory copy every hour to /backup/user/directory. It would seem that cron or crontab is what I need to use. Looking at previous posts and other documentation only shows how much I don't know. When I type crontab -e I get a blank file I can type into, seemingly using vi as the editor. I have no problem with that but when I type cron -l, I get my text after a message about "Do Not Edit this File". What I am reading just makes no sense, I am not understanding even the most fundamental aspects of cron or crontab. Where I can get the most basic of basic instructions to try to understand this function?
