Re: grep, maybe
After a night's sleep, I realized I might even be able to make Ben happy:
#!/bin/sh
cd /path/to/toplevel/dir
find -type d | while read i
do
grep moe $i/* /dev/null echo $i
done | while read d
do
mv $d /path/to/destination || echo mv for $d didn't work: $?
done
-Ken
P.S. It deals gracefully with spaces (I checked -- hadn't been sure about
how the second read would work).
P.P.S. It does appear that find is terminated for the second loop. (Or
so said the ps I threw into it to check.)
P.^3S. For millions of hits, your memory might start to bog. In which
case, if you expect that, it's definitely time to go with the temporary
file thing.

Looking for some guidance;
I have several files within several folders (5 files per folder, and
thousands of folders) that I need to search a text file within each
folder for a word match (like three_little_pigs.txt, and I need to find
moe, if he's listed) and then when a match is found I need to move
(not copy) that entire folder (and it's 3~5 files contained within) to
another location...
#!/bin/sh
cd [top level directory] grep -l -r [search string in double quotes]
/tmp/file_names_found
2/tmp/grep.errs
cat /tmp/file_names_found|xargs -i basename {} /tmp/dir_names_to_move
dir_list=`sort /tmp/dir_names_to_move|unique` for DIRECTORY in
$(dir_list); do
mvdir $DIRECTORY [new location here] STATUS=$?
if [ $STATUS -ne 0 ]; then echo mvdir returned status $STATUS end done
exit
You'll have to come up with a way to create the value for new location
here that is unique so you don't overlay all the directories into the
same path and lose everything, so maybe test it with a copy first. You'll
also want to check /tmp/grep.errs for any error messages. I hope this
helps.

Oh, a challenge, eh? ;-) cd /path/to/toplevel/dir find -type d | while read i Could be just: find /path/to/toplevel/dir -type d | while read i grep moe $i/* /dev/null echo $i Definitely should be at least: grep moe $i/* /dev/null echo $i (Putting the star inside the quotes prevents the shell from globing it, thus leading to grep trying to open a file named * in the directory.) Could be: grep -q moe $i/* echo $i (The -q switch to grep causes it to just exit with true on the first match, making things faster if the match is earlier in the file. Also avoids the need to throw away the output.) P.S. It deals gracefully with spaces (I checked -- hadn't been sure about how the second read would work). Yah, read reads lines. Lines are split into tokens on spaces and put into parameters you give, but the last parameter gets the rest of the line. So with one parameter, you get the whole line. P.P.S.

Re: Fairpoint files for Chapter 11
I guess I'm naive but it irritates me that the NH PUC web site says: The Telecommunications Division assists the Commission in regulating the $800M telecommunications industry in New Hampshire. Registered public utilities include incumbent local exchange carriers (FairPoint and seven independent telephone companies), approximately 30 active competitive local exchange carriers, and over 100 in-state toll providers. The Commission does not regulate cable television, wireless/cellular, out-of-state long distance or Internet service providers. This has been, to me, a very interesting thread. Does anyone know of a forum with a similar ongoing conversation about telecomm in NH? Maybe we should fork one. Or is the subject automatically 'on track'?

They only ever expected to make money in the video (over ADSL2) business. Nobody ever thought they had enough reserve capital, it was a debt-leveraged play, and a crashed economy certainly bollixed their business plan. The trouble with Chapter 11, though, is who's going to extend them credit from the vendor sphere? They're holding a license to defraud their creditors. 'Cash on the barrel' would seem to be the acceptable terms. Is anybody aware of any actual video roll-out that's been done? One would think they'd have gone after revenue immediately, but that seems not to be the case, at least in my area.
