 Functionality
• This is written for Windows/unix
• This script will move the files from one
directory to another directory those are
having specific minutes older with respec to
last modification time.
• To run this script we have to give 3 paramters.
<path_from> , <path_to> , <age>.
• As you can see these 3 parameters are self
explanatory .
• By this you can save much time.
• This is designed in such a way that it can
handle leap year, New year , New day roll over
after midnight.
 Where Can we use
• We can set up a sentry to move files on any
kind of server where we can install perl.
• Here with I am attaching the expected outputs
Of this script by using which we can set up a
sentry.

 How it helps my team
• Actually we have a application called Magllean
which is on Windows Servers. We have set up
many directories like /temp, /Success, /cdr.
sometimes files those are got failed to process
it goes to /temp directory. So we do a manual
move of files( those are 30 having more than
30 minutes of last modification time )to /cdr
for reprocess.
 Advantages
• By doing this we save lot of time as this page
came around many times in a day.
• As in windows we cant write shell scripts to
automate that’s why I wrote this script in perl
script.
• Please contact me if you find any difficulties in
it.
