move files all paths from source to destination path

[jeesshnasree]

Hi All,

I have one query is file move.

in this path "/tmp/my-test/testing/logs/mars" many directories & files need to move files more than 2 days to "/opt/mars/logs-backup" path .

condition is "source-path" direcory not remove while moving files & simultaneously destination path "source path directories" create then logs need to move destination path .

Note : no need create folders manually in destination path , as per source path directories need to create in destination  automatically while move more than 2 days files .

please find below paths for sample reports logs path .

if possible any command for below task then please share .

Explanation :

/tmp/my-test/testing/logs/mars/water/result.log.txt-27-Aug-2024

Hi, you can try the following shell script to achieve this:

#!/bin/bash

# Define source and destination paths
SOURCE_PATH="/tmp/my-test/testing/logs/mars"
DEST_PATH="/opt/mars/logs-backup"

# Find files older than 2 days
find "$SOURCE_PATH" -type f -mtime +2 | while read FILE
do
    # Get the relative path of the file by stripping the source path from the file path
    RELATIVE_PATH="${FILE#$SOURCE_PATH/}"

    # Get the directory path for the file in the destination
    DEST_DIR="$DEST_PATH/$(dirname "$RELATIVE_PATH")"

    # Create the directory structure in the destination path if it doesn't exist
    mkdir -p "$DEST_DIR"

    # Move the file to the destination path
    mv "$FILE" "$DEST_DIR"
done

echo "Files older than 2 days have been moved to $DEST_PATH"
