Removing old directories with logs
- by Mcgiwer
My IM stores the logs according to the contact name. I have created a file with the list of active contacts. My problem is following:
I would like to create a bash script with read the active contacts names from the file and compare it with the directories. If the directory name wouldn't be found on the list, it would be moved to another directory (let's call it "archive"). I try to visualise it for you.
content of the list:
contact1
contact2
content of the dir
contact1
contact2
contact3
contact4
after running of the script, the content fo the dir:
contact1
contact2
contact3 == ../archive
contact4 == ../archive
