Script to copy data from one directory to another and at the same time remove copied files after 30 days.

It is typical that we need to schedule (cron) operations on files for archiving or pre/post – processing purpose. Below script is and example, can be use to simplify with customization of your example:

#!/bin/bash

source_dir="11"
dest_dir="22"
log_file="log.txt"
now=$(date +%s)

echo "$now START Files to move from $source_dir to $dest_dir" >> $log_file
files_to_move=$(find $source_dir -type f)
echo $files_to_move >> $log_file
xargs -I{} -n 1 mv {} "$dest_dir" <<< $files_to_move
echo "$now END  move file" >> $log_file

echo "$now START Remove files older than 30 days" >> $log_file
remove_files=$(find $dest_dir -type f -mtime +30)
echo $remove_files >> $log_file
xargs -I{} rm {} <<< "$remove_files"
echo "$now END -- Remove files" >> $log_file
