Hi there,

i need someone to help me with a little script i have to run in my
machine:

each day a process generates more than 5000 archives in a directory and
i need to move all the archives (1 day old) to another directory, and
make a tar file with them; if the archives have a name like this:
*YYYYMMDD*, how do i create a script that moves them and make a tar
with this format *YYYYMMDD*.tar ???

tks
Mabus
