AIX Find files

[subsar]

Hi,

I have files like test-2014-08-08.tar.gz live-2014-08-09.tar.gz for each date I just want to sort only files for today and save that files alone to tape in IAX.

Please could one of you help me in with this?

Thanks,

Not really sure what you are asking for...

If you do not have the man pages installed you can read them online:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowl...gation/alphabeticallistofcommands.htm?lang=en

For the find command:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/ssw_aix_61/com.ibm.aix.cmds2/find.htm

You did not specify your AIX release, the links are for AIX 6.1

If you know the date you are looking for and the way it is represented in the filename you can search for it with the find command, or you could list the directory contents and then grep for the date...

ls command:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/ssw_aix_61/com.ibm.aix.cmds3/ls.htm

grep command:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/api/content/ssw_aix_61/com.ibm.aix.cmds2/grep.htm

Or are you asking for someone to (do your job for you) write a script to backup the files you want to your tape drive for you? If so then we are going to need a lot more information.....

You could start with something like this:

#!/usr/bin/ksh

today=$(date +%Y"-"%m"-"%d)
ls /your-path/ | grep $today | while read list; do your-backup-command $list"; done
