Find and copy same files to single directory

[paul_wall]

Hello,

I have a number of crash.log files scattered about my system and I would like to run a command to find all the crash.log files on the system and copy them to a single directory; each with a unique filename.

For example, copy crash.log from ~/directory_1 , ~/directory_2 , ~/directory_3 and so on to ~/crash_logs/crash.log1 , ~/crash_logs/crash.log2 , ~/crash_logs/crash.log3 etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

u can try with this script..
=============================
#!/bin/sh
for FILE in `locate *crash_logs*`
do echo $FILE
mv $FILE /path/to/directory
done
==============================
and u maybe want zip the file
tar cvf targetfile.tar /path/to/directory (create zip file)
tar tvf targetfile.tar (list all files in zipped filebut it wont unzip)
tar xvf targetfile.tar (extract files in current directory)
