Moving file from one dir to Another with Given Qualifier

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I want to Move files from one dir to another dir on same mount point.

The source dir may contain subdir or files within it.
Search the files or subfolder which is older then a given datetime .

Move the file recursively and after each successful move of file make an entry to log file.

I really Appreciate your help!

Does the script I use help?:

You may replace the secureMove function with a simple move statement (secureMove increments a counter in the filename should the same file exist in the destination folder already).

1st of all thanks for your prompt reply.I am new to this scripting world and for me the script looks complex.
sorry about that.

so I have broken my requirement into part :

if you or someone can help me :

1.find and list out all files older then some predefined value within subdir and dir .

e.g:

Below are the files which met the condn
/usr/home/dir1
/subdir/sbdirfile1.txt
/sbdirfile2.txt
/sbdirfile3.txt

 / dirfile1.txt
 / dirfile2.txt
 / dirfile3.txt

now log1.txt should display

/usr/home/dir1/subdir/sbdirfile1.txt
/usr/home/dir1/subdir/sbdirfile2.txt
/usr/home/dir1/subdir/sbdirfile3.txt
/usr/home/dir1 / dirfile1.txt
/usr/home/dir1 / dirfile2.txt
/usr/home/dir1 / dirfile3.txt

Thanking you all in advance

Hope i am clear this time
