General :: Find Directory Older Than X And Mv Directory With Sub Files Command?

Jul 13, 2011

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

General :: Use Mkdir Command To Create 'local' Directory In /usr - There Are Error - Cannot Make Directory

Jun 16, 2010

I am a student studying computer science course.

Well, I am facing problem when doing lab questions.

I must use DLXLinux bundled in Bochs (bochs.sourceforge.net).

I am required to use the /usr/local directory.

In /usr directory, there is no directory named 'local' but there is one thing called 'local@'. So, when I try to use mkdir command to create 'local' directory in /usr , there are error "cannot make directory.....".

Look at my screenshot at [url].

General :: Find Files In A Directory That Contain Numbers?

Mar 1, 2011

I am trying find files in a directory that contain numbers. I have tried ls /etc *[0-9]* but that doesn't work. If I cd to /etc and run ls *[0-9]* it almost works but it also includes results from within files. My last thought was to try: find /etc [0-9] -type f but this does not work either. My second problem is that I am trying to get list of files in a directory that were changed less than 10 hours ago, using grep, while leaving out directories. I am completely stuck with the second problem.

so if I have /dir1/lsnrcontrol and also have /dir1/dir/2/dir3/lsnr-tinit.dat then I want to list the files names etc.

how to do this using ls -R and wildcards.

Ubuntu :: Find All Java Files In A Directory?

Nov 18, 2010

I am trying to use "find" but I can't quite get all of the switches right for it to work. I have a folder that contains many folders. Let's call that original folder "MyFiles". The subfolders contain java files (and those subfolders possibly contain subfolders that contain java files). Here is what I want to have happen:

0. Create a file to print to, call it "output.ps"
1. Find all of the Java files in the MyFiles tree.
2. For each java file that is found, append it to output.ps along with it's absolute path name.

So far I have:

find . -iname *.java

and this finds all of the java files for me. But then I can't get the files to print to a file using exec.

General :: Can't Copy Files From Directory With "&" Symbol In Directory Name

Mar 18, 2010

I am using my media server as my podcast collector. I am in the process of learning the ins and outs of NFS so i can mount a NFS directory and transfer my podcasts from server to player. For now i am using scp to transfer podcasts from server to desktop then to player. The problem is the path to the directory of one of the podcasts is /home/user/gpodder-downloads/The BILL&TIMMY Show Podcast.

whenever i try and run my scp command it fails because it thinks that TIMMY is a script i want to run in the background. I have tried to back-slash escape the character, i've tried single quoting and double quoting the character and i still get the same problem. as it sits now i have to move all podcasts to another directory and then transfer them to my desktop...but i would like to transfer the podcasts without un-necessary steps.
