I have a directory where our deployments go. A deployment (which is itself a directory) is named in
the format:
<application-name>_<date>
e.g. trader-gui_20091102
There are multiple applications deployed to this same parent directory, so
the contents of
the parent directory might look something like this:
trader-gui_20091106
trader-gui_20091102
trader-gui_20091010
simulator_20091106
simulator_20091102
simulator_20090910
simulator_20090820
I want to write a bash script to clean out all deployments except for
the most current of each application. (The most current denoted by
the date in
the name of
the deployment). So running
the bash script on
the above parent directory would leave:
trader-gui_20091106
simulator_20091106
Any help would be appreciated.
