I have this script its purpose is to touch all files with jsp extentions in all dir's, sub and sub -sub dir's.

This example does not work and I have gotten the idea to do it this way from an example that was posted on this forum to remove files older than a certain time.

I would be greatfull for any assistance

Thanks Johan

#!/bin/sh

LIST=`find /webuser/ -name *.jsp´

for FILE in $LIST
do
touch $FILE
done

Hi,
I'm really really new on Linux
and I need to do some stuff on a ksh bash

1. I need to create a file containing a list (in reverse date order (oldest first) of all the files in the directory specified by the enviroment variable

I used:
#!/bin/bash
ls -t -A -r /$testdir/ >$FLOW/ls.lst
cat $FLOW/ls.lst

2. and then how can I get the first non-null line from this file (ls.lst) and store it as firstline

i used for this:
#!/bin/bash
cat $FLOW/ls.lst | while read -r firstline
do
read -r firstline
export firstline
done
echo $firstline

Any idea?

when they don't ask you anymore, where they are come from, and they don't tell you anymore, where they go ... you'r getting older !

find /webuser/ -name *.jsp -exec touch {} \;

should do it wuickly for you

 

[jamisar]

on solaris: MASK the *
before using -exec (can be very dangerous, especially for newcomer)
check the output of find.

Yep - either mask it or put single quotes around '*.jsp'.
