Get a file created between certain times.

[pendal]

Our server created backup files every hour.

I would like to automate burning the file created at 6:00 am automatically to a CD.

the burning automation i have no problems with.

How do i select the file that is created say between 5:50am and 6:10am of the current date?

here is a list of some of the files.

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157814403 Sep  5 22:02 foxpro-1220666401-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157814403 Sep  8 06:02 foxpro-1220868001-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157814403 Sep  8 07:04 foxpro-1220871601-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157814320 Sep  8 08:05 foxpro-1220875202-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157823360 Sep  8 09:06 foxpro-1220878802-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157825136 Sep  8 10:02 foxpro-1220882401-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157824855 Sep  8 11:02 foxpro-1220886001-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 157816381 Sep  8 12:05 foxpro-1220889602-arc.tgz
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 125812736 Sep  8 13:03 foxpro-1220893201-arc.tgz

The file i would want in this case would be the second one down.

My brain thinks the pattern would look similar to this.

dir="path/to/files"

if[ creation BETWEEN "Today at 5:50" AND "Today at 6:10" ]
add file to iso for backup
fi

run cd backup here

I know that is nowhere near correct, but it is the best way I can express what i would like to accomplish.

any help would be great.

Thanks,

I had a similar situation similar to yours and here's how I did it:

ST=`date "+%Y%m%d0550.00"`
ET=`date "+%Y%m%d0610.00"`
touch -t $ST /tmp/s
touch -t $ET /tmp/e
find $dir -type f -newer /tmp/s ! -newer /tmp/e -type f -exec cp {} $dest \;
##make iso file with files in $dest##
#clean up
rm -rf /tmp/s /tmp/e

Hope that helps.

That worked exactly perfect!!!!
Thanks.

For others who come across it, this was my final script that includes all iso and burning automation.

#SET TIMES
ST=`date "+%Y%m%d0550.00"`
ET=`date "+%Y%m%d0610.00"`

#SET DIRS
dir="/mnt/backup/foxpro"
dest="/mnt/bktemps/"
isoloc="/mnt/bkisos/"

#SET ISO NAME
isoname="fpbk.iso"

#Find the file we want and copy to new location
touch -t $ST /tmp/s
touch -t $ET /tmp/e
find $dir -type f -newer /tmp/s ! -newer /tmp/e -type f -exec cp {} $dest \;

#make iso of dest dir
mkisofs -o $isoloc$isoname $dest

#burn iso to cd in drive
wodim speed=16 dev=/dev/cdrom -v $isoloc$isoname

#do cleanup
rm -f /tmp/s /tmp/e $isoloc* $dest*

Thanks again.
