RE: Move IFS files based on date

As an example response, I have the following in a shell script that is on the job scheduler to be run through QP2SHELL:

find /tmp/sq* -mtime +21 -exec rm {} \;

That deletes /tmp/sq* if it's older than 21 days. You could use mv instead of rm to move it somewhere else. You could probably do something clever with date calculations if you need to match a month specifically rather than "older than x days"

Command : CALL PGM(QP2SHELL) PARM('/QOpenSys/usr/bin/sh' 'myscript.sh')

Other methods I tried failed due to the number of files found.

Hi,

Does anyone have any recommendations to move IFS files (a lot!) from one directory to another based on creation date. The idea is to omit the new location from the backup to reduce the backup time. We would want to schedule this say once a month. I'm open to scripting in QSH, although my Unix skills are basic, or a tool that might be out there.
