Re: Over-thinking find and mv - need a nudge

I got some coffee, walked around, and _thought_ about it.

I've got the originating directory - see below.  Writing to disk is probably
not the _best_ way but disk is cheap and fast, now.

Of course this concats all of the source files into one big file on
destination.  More coffee ...

function move_file
{
for D in `cat ${DIRECTORY_LIST}`
do
   log " ${D} files -> ${DESTINATION}"  >> $LOGFILE 2>&1
   echo ${D} > ${ORIGDIR}
   cat ${ORIGDIR}  #sanity check for dev
   ORIGDIR2=`awk 'BEGIN { FS = "/" } ; { print $NF }' ${D} ${ORIGDIR}`
   echo ${ORIGDIR2} #sanity check for dev
   sleep 3   # bash executes way too fast on my laptop - slow the heck down
   find ${D} -type f -maxdepth 1 \! -newer ${TIMER} -print  -exec mv -v "{}"
${DESTINATION}${ORIGDIR2}-${NOW} \;
done
}
