Need Shell Scripts - Paid Assistance

[C4talyst]

Appreciate it Nick. I'm pretty close now. I wanted the script to check data1 directory for new files, move them to data2 directory, encrypt them with gpg and then delete all original files in data1. Sounds simple right? For you guys anyways...

Not a problem. Just a couple of mouse clicks. Not sure I'd call that real work.

Well, you're in good hands with Nick.

Later.

#!/bin/sh

dirpath1="/home/user/data1/"
dirpath2="/home/user/data2/"

cd $dirpath1;
for file in *.new
do
  echo "$file"
  gpg -r USER_ID --output "${dirpath2}${file}.gpg" --encrypt "$file"
  if [ $? -eq 0 ]
  then  
    rm -f "$file"
  else
    echo "ERROR: encrypting $file"
  fi
done

simple enough sounds like your almost there. i have to ask though, if your going to delete the original files, why copy than delete why not just encrpt first and if it succeeds move.
blah nevermind didnt really read the above script. it creates than only deletes if succeeds . good stuff ignore me.

I guess because I don't have all my requirements hammered out just yet. I just know this is where I need to start...thanks a lot Nick and papal for you help!
