How can I move files to another directory using a cron job?

I am new into linux administration, I have a php script in cron directory that generates 5 textfiles, after the files are generated, I want to create a script that will move the 5 text fiels to anoher folder name "web".

Can someone kindly help me on this?

Thanks

write a simple shell script that moves the files and have CRON execute the shell script

a shell script can be as simple as a single command or you can string commands together...

for instance you could use the following to move the files

shell script:


where "/home/user/files" is where the files are

and "/web" is where you want them to go

edit and save the script above...make sure its owner is the same as the CRON user and be sure that it is executable...then create a crontab to run the script whenever you want

Is there a particular reason your PHP script doesn't create the files in the desired location in the first place?
