Problem Need to move files from a list of directories, rename them. Solution Use a for .. do .. done loop inside the for .. do .. done loop. And using basname and dirname. Brett Lymn replied with a real clever tweak: play with your TZ setting in shell. "Play with TZ: [blymn@mallee] TZ="GMT-10:15" date Friday, 30 March 2012 9:54:16 AM GMT [blymn@mallee] date Friday, 30 March 2012 10:09:22 AM CST My timezone is normally +9:30 and +10:30 in daylight savings, we are still in daylight savings at the moment so TZ="GMT-10:30" date would give the same date as date, by slipping the TZ around you can get a date in the past or the future...it works for > 24 hours too so you can get tomorrows date with TZ="GMT-34:30" and yesterdays date with "TZ="GMT+13:30" (-10:30 - 24, wrap on 24 gives +13:30). The only hairy bit is if you are in daylight savings or not but you should be able to ask date that. This seems to be a very little known feature of the timezone code but it does appear to be portable, at least between BSD, linux, hpux & solaris." Also works in OS X ... ~ date Fri Mar 30 08:09:28 CDT 2012 ~ TZ="GMT-10:15" date Fri Mar 30 23:24:43 GMT 2012 ~ date Fri Mar 30 08:09:50 CDT 2012 ~ uname -a Darwin beatha.neenah.na.plexus.com 10.8.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.8.0: Tue Jun 7 16:33:36 PDT 2011; root:xnu-1504.15.3~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 Brian Dunbar Systems Administrator Plexus Corporation Desk: (920) 751-3364 Cell: (920) 716-2027 email: [email protected]
