Sorting Directory and Moving File
To put it mildly, my script writing abilities suck. I have therefore decided to seek the assistance of someone who is willing to write a script for me.
First of all, I am running FreeBSD 5.4. Besides the base shell, I also have Bash 3.00.16(1), php 5.0.5 (cli), ruby 1.8.2 and Perl 5.8.7 installed. I am presently running DADA Mail to deliver a newsletter nightly. In order to send a different message nightly, I have to enter the file name for each file that is to be sent. I have named all of the files to be sent according to the date; i.e., 11-01-05.txt, 11-02-05.txt, etc. All of the files are kept in the same directory. What I want is a simple script that would run from CRON once daily. The script would sort the directory and then move the first file to a file named: “2Bsent.txt” in the same directory. By moving the file to the new name, the original files would be removed which is what I want. I have never been able to accomplish this seemingly simple feat. -- Ciao

Have you anything to go on, or is this sorted?
