General :: Find Directory Older Than X And Mv Directory With Sub Files Command?
Jul 13, 2011I'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

Mar 18, 2010I am facing a problem in Windows due to a virus called Newfolder.exe which creats files with the same name as it's parent directory and an extension .exe and this happens for every directory in the entire hierarchy in the infected pen drive. The antivirus detects them, but is sucking slow. So I thought this is a good opportunity to use the concepts of the all mighty shell script to remove those as they follow the same pattern. Say my complete path is
Code:
/home/pkd/fol1/
The virus would have created an file with complete paths
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol1.exe
If fol1 has two more directories fol11 and fol12 Then there would be two more .exe(virus created) in the following path
Quote:
/home/pkd/fol11/fol11.exe
/home/pkd/fol12/fol12.exe

View 2 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Errors Executing Shell Script: "command Not Found" And "no Such File Or Directory"
Jan 14, 2011A colleague gave me a shell script ("dti_motion") which needs to be run from the directory containing all the files it works on. I want to run the same script for several different directories. But I don't want to have to cd into each directory, run the script, wait for it to finish, and then cd to the next directory (there are 52 to do altogether).
So I wanted to write a very simple script that will cd to each directory and perform the script there, before going on to the next one. My colleague's script ("dti_motion") is stored in my home/bin/ and is executable. My home/bin/ is in my path, as verified by echo $path. When run from a directory containing the necessary information, the dti_motion script works perfectly well. I wrote an extremely inelegant script called "dti_motion_do_all" which is also stored in my home/bin/ and executable:
#!/bin/sh
#Get motion information for each subject, using Mark's script, called dti_motion
cd /imaging/cr01/PD_DTI/C_10/12x5
[code]....
I know there will be more elegant ways to write this script with loops, rather than simply using cd, but for the moment, I just want this to run, until I have learnt to use loops properly. how to correct either of those "command not found" or "no such file or directory" errors, given that both the original dti_motion and my dti_motion_do_all script are in my /home/bin/ (which is on my path) and both scripts are executable?

Mar 13, 2010I have a huge file which has 450G. Its format is as below
x1 50020 A 1
x1 50021 B 8
x1 50022 C 9
[code]....
Now, I want to extract a subset from this file. In this subset, column 1 is x10, column 2 is from 600000 to 30000000. I wrote the following perl script but it doesn't work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$file1 = $ARGV[0]; # Input file
$file2 = $ARGV[1]; # Output file
[code]...
I guess the input file and output file are both too big that my script can't handle it.

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Subset A Large Dataset By Specifing The Starting & End Line?
Aug 27, 2010This is my first time on this forum. I am a statistician. I am trying to subset a large dataset by specifing the starting & end line. The dataset is pretty large (more than 300 million lines), containing around 1.2 million lines for a person. So I would like to split the dataset into per person consecutively. I tried wrap r codes, but R seems to have to read from top to where I want although I specified that it should skip the lines that other tasks have read. So the memory is increasing with the task ID. Finally I got kicked out by the administer.
I guess that shell may do it much simple and elegently. First I thought of "split" command. But the the file has a header of 10 lines. So I can't split it into even size chuncks.
