Q: shell script to function on subfolders

bobleponge314I want to write a simple shell script that will go into all the sub-folders in a directory, and organise the files in the sub-folders into new directories. Basically in terminal it would look like: cd ../subfolder1 mkdir newfolder mv *.txt newfolder cd ../subfolder2 mkdir newfolder mv *.txt newfo...

move it to stackoverflow?
or superuser.
 
neither. Why would we need to move it at all?
 
@Seth oh, I thinked that It's not related with Ubuntu.
 
Bash shell scripting isn't related to Ubuntu? No, it is.
Our scope is pretty broad actually..
 
@Seth Oh, Now I understood.
Thanks.

2:00 AM
A laptop with two video cards.

Is somebody using tplink IRS (router) here?
 
2:25 AM

Yeh, what the heck is happenning here?
flags disappears from the 10k tools :(

@Lucio o/
 
poor Lucio :P
 
i feel sorry about him :(
@Braiam before close I would have wrote an answer
 
2:54 AM
@Lucio SPAM!!!!!!!!!!!! :p
 
Some cool answers on that, but no can let that remain unclosed.
 
what?
 
@Braiam Hey. \o/
 
@Lucio I can't leave it unclosed. Sorry, slang alert :P
 
where is the spam?
 
@Lucio He was joking about you advertising the book
note the ":p" he added
@Braiam I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad :-/
 
Oh no, no one should write "SPAM", not even with a :p as suffix
@Seth I said "before close" :)
 
I know. He was just trying to crack a joke.
 
BTW, that is a great book
 
@Braiam what happened with your reputation?
 
3:00 AM
@Seth can you ask OP what version of WOW he has and if he has read the relevant winehq page? appdb.winehq.org/…
@Danatela caching
always blame caching
 
@Braiam yeah sure.
 
@Seth beautiful
 
this is sad :(
 
haha xD
 
yeah I have no idea what's going on there. I guess there must be some caching or something.
 
3:02 AM
1 min ago, by Braiam
always blame caching
 
 
there it goes.
 
do not blame me
 
takes back his rep from @Lucio
 
your proposed sucks! :P
 
3:04 AM
@Braiam You missed a typo :P
 
is it valid?
 
@Lucio yeh, what's this?
 
@Lucio It won't accept that.
 
I take all the rep from braiam. In fact, I take all of it.
@Seth :( guess @jrg will
 
3:07 AM
I would like to have cats as mods :D
 
Laser cats as mods?
 
maybe another breed
Did you mean..
 
> as long as we have laser cats, we will be ok
xD
 
Idk, in episode 7 all of the laser cats get turned back into regular cats. :(
 
3:14 AM
noooo
btw,, what does ldk stand for?
 
= I don't know
 
Oh, I thought it was an L
sorry
 
ah that's the eternal struggle with sans serif, isn't it? ;)
 
right :)
better now :D
 
nifty :)
 
@Danatela why?
 
it's closed
 
exactly, why?
 
primarily opinion-based
 
again, why it's opinion based?
 
3:36 AM
he says "why it's so difficult"
 
> Some subjective questions are allowed, but “subjective” does not mean “anything goes”. All subjective questions are expected to be constructive. What does that mean? Constructive subjective questions: inspire answers that explain “why” and “how”
I can answer that question
without being subjective
 
ok, nominated for reopening
 
@Braiam If you can edit to more than a rant with a sloppy question hidden in it somewhere I'm all game.
Edit it*
 
internet is against me right now
 
@Seth I was trying to write an answer first to verify that no noise was left
 
3:45 AM
I'd prefer it if you could edit first so I could actually see the question..
 
@Braiam now it is clear
nominated for reopening
 
@Braiam Much better. Go for it.
 
4:04 AM
gimme an app that'll tell me where the fewest people are. push notifications when people leave town. alerts when the grocery store is empty
totally!
cc @hbdgaf
 
4:26 AM
bye
 
 
1 hour later…
@Danatela I think you're right.
It's spam.
 
6:08 AM
xkcdfied
 
@MinatoNamikaze pfff! You need House font instead...
 
6:29 AM
@RaduRădeanu let me tell you this straight: your title sucks in this question please, leave it like I edited it
also, don't add apt tag, since the qi of the error is dpkg
 
@Braiam why you won't recommend to remove only gnome-settings-daemon package?
 
nor dependencies... why in the world you think that's a "dependency issue"?
@AvinashRaj because I had 3 hours in chat with a guy with the same problem and removing that package don't help
in fact, he reinstalled
 
then why he didn't accept your answer yet.
 
@AvinashRaj I don't care if he accepts my answer, in fact SE doesn't expects you to accept any answer
I explained the problem and told what's the solution
 
may i view the transcript?
 
6:38 AM
why are you asking me?
 
ok leave it.

@Rinzwind Hi :-) Rinz..
where did you got that image?
 
in the fast boot one?
 
already an image answer of your's got 100 upvotes, i think.
 
Dan
This was the weirdest Ubuntu upgrade ever. I finished the upgrade, and not a single error or problem occurred. wth.. I don't like this....
 
@AvinashRaj I got 4; 3 with a badge
@Dan I had mixed installations. my own machine no trouble. my new machine (now at mums) was 1 hell of an installation
 
@Rinzwind what the frigging heck is "dialog"?
 
dialog? that's a popup asking for an action
LOL he deleted it himself
 
yeah, don't use that questions as duplicates, that's very low quality stuff
 
Dan
7:39 AM
@Rinzwind It's just that I never had a flawless upgrade before, I'm finding this really weird. I usually take about an hour of fixing stuff after each upgrade.
 
@Dan I reinstalled 4 times and even went back to a dvd install :) I had the -weirdest- problems. 1 time it installed fine and when I restarted it stopped. On tty1 I could see my home but it was completely empty besides the examples.desktop file :D (no hidden files; nothing)
Had to manually fix xorg too
 
@Dan well, let me tell you that I had a server that upgraded from 10.04 to 11.10 without problems and my system upgraded from 13.04 to 13.10 without problems either
granted I don't use PPA's nor mess up with my installation
is a well known fact, the more packages you have to upgrade the more likely it will fail
 
Dan
@Braiam That's true, I've been adding PPAs like there was no tomorrow when I first started with Ubuntu.
After I upgraded to 13.10 and a few problems, I think I removed about 15 PPAs. I still have around ~20 extra PPAs though
 
I always try to keep my system ppa-less.
 
@Rinzwind I don't use PPA's :P
well, I use debian... so...
 
7:53 AM
lol
 
pulls from sid/experimental
 
The amount of PPAs on my systems indicate the need of a release upgrade.
<-- still on 12.04
 
@Takkat you need Debian, I know it, you know it, why resist?
 
ha! whimp! upgrade! now!
I had your fav. food y-day @takkat
 
it's less new feature that force me into PPAs than bugfixes that don't make it into security updates.
 
7:56 AM
btw, this needs to remain closed askubuntu.com/review/reopen/251684
 
@Rinzwind what do you know about my fav food?
 
@Takkat franfurters with sauerkraut :=D
 
@Rinzwind ELL
 
@Braiam Ubunteros don't call for mum ;)
 
@Takkat my mum calls me :=)
 
8:01 AM
that's the real men's way of life :)
 
she is an Ubuntu user as of sunday
 
she will become an Ubuntera soon :)
 
stop copying the spanish, chico
 
monday she called me cuz she had a big problem. Out of nowhere the screen with the violin on it had "thing" called "Untiteld folder" :D
(the screen with the violon being the desktop),
1st time mouse user :D
 
> Hey calm down, Zaimokuza. Totsuka isn’t a girl. He’s a guy… probably
:O
I need to travel to japan to see if there are really androgynous people there
 
8:08 AM
@Rinzwind VNC for the rescue.
 
lol
no I did it over the phone. For someone claiming "computers are not for me. I am too old" she gets arpund the desktop pretty well
mind you: all she does is using chromium and radiotray :D
oops he saw it :D
 
whoops did an upgrade to 14.04 and forgot to disable xorg-edgers %)
 
@Rinzwind beware of the:
 
Oli
:15084902 Yeah.. I was wondering why I couldn't find any results on Google for bittorrent...
 
8:13 AM
LOL
 
Oli
No... I'm confused. I need coffee
cointorrent?
 
O_o
 
.... is 4:15 am and I fine... is that the proof I'm not fine?
 
Yes
 
8:41 AM
/o\

@Rinzwind oh, I edited about other man's question, but it have no upvote.
 
9:03 AM
@mateo omg late replies! hellooooo!!

@jokerdino Yo! Long time no see

-_-
 
9:25 AM
@Mochan Is that Nick Cage?
 
@jokerdino indeed
 
One True God.
 
@jokerdino +1
I thought about starring that, but context.
 
Contexts are for bunnies.
 
just so
 
@jokerdino not in a dutch zoo. kids watched a rabbit getting eaten in the tiger area
 
@Rinzwind wtf
 
@blade19899 For Ubuntu I hope...? Otherwise maybe not a good idea to star?
 
(dutch)
 
9:33 AM
@Rinzwind lol i'll pass.
 
lol
 
@Rinzwind dude wat.
@Rinzwind Hm I can recognize a word or two.
 
again context kills my need to star
 
yeah well the rabbit made the mistake of walking in there :=D
 
poor rabbit
 
9:34 AM
and the tiger went: "gotcha" :)
 
haha the kids crying in the background
@AvinashRaj I remember doing that. Never came in handy though lol. Flagged, btw.
 
@Mochan always for Ubuntu
 
@blade19899 huhuhuhuhu
i call bs
 
@Mochan i have to flag that question as dupe?
 
9:39 AM
@AvinashRaj Well yeah, that's the idea.
 
oh, if i able to put a close vote then..
 
@AvinashRaj Flag should be fine, no?
 
@Mochan I never talk bs... never!
 
2 mins ago, by Mochan

@Mochan i can't able to flag questions as dupe. If i do so, it force me to put a close vote.

Q: Can I Know User Is Logged in or Not?

PandyaI Want To Know If User is Online At A Time Or Not. So-that Commenting on Question And Answer Should be Effective. Because User Profile Only Shows that User last seen : (Ex:30 Minutes Ago.) But It maybe online now.

 
10:35 AM
dd made another victim :-)
damn Oli is quick today :D
 
why SE failed to show the users who're currently online.like a green mark near to his avatar.
 
@AvinashRaj privacy :=)
 
yeh, reached 15 k.. :-)
BBL :-)
 
11:08 AM
Placed my first bounty .. 50 rep gone !! :-(
:'-(
 
Oli
@AvinashRaj What do you mean if?
@Rinzwind You've finally overtaken izx! Congrats.
And Luis isn't far behind. I'm looking forward to having four active users in the top-line of the users page.
To be honest, I'm slightly worried that izx averages higher than me on many days where I'm not doing anything... Even though they haven't posted anything new in 18 months. If I stopped posting, izx would overtake me in less than five years.
That's mental.
 
11:33 AM
@Oli thanks! could not have done it without all your upvotes :=D
Luis challenged me to be ahead of him in 1 year time
 
@Oli Hi! By the way, what's happened with izx?
@Rinzwind Congratulations!
 
Oli
@RaduRădeanu No idea. I've used my moderator powers to work out who the person really is but they've stopped posted anywhere. They've dropped off the internet. You can draw your own conclusion from that but I simply don't know what happened to them.
 
Oli
Couldn't find any local news about the person either so... Yeah... No idea.
 
we should have a "if I stopped posting contact xxxxx" :D
wait was there not a website for that?
if you did not log into it you'd pressume dead and they start mailing you are :X
 
Oli
11:41 AM
@Rinzwind Yeah, there are a few efforts to notify various accounts of users' deaths but it's still not really something we're used to yet. It's hard enough to get people to leave a proper will, let alone work out how to properly handle hundreds of online accounts.
 
@Oli So, simply disappearance... Too bad, he was very good in his answers :D
 
Oli
I think I found a few phone numbers but I think I'd be really overstepping if I called asking for them and something horrible had happened. "Oh I'm ever so sorry, I was just wondering if they'd be back to post more answers on our community website, but I'll let you get back to your grieving"... Pretty morbid stuff.
 
11:56 AM
@Oli you would make a lousy CSI investigator
 
Oli
:(
Now back to important things... Has anybody seen my crowbar?
 
@fossfreedom Hi
 
\o
@fossfreedom what are you doing now?
 
officially not here ... honest I'm working
not a big footy fan - like cricket more
 
Oli
12:02 PM
Nevermind. Found the crowbar hiding in the shed.
 
quick everyone hide
 
@fossfreedom I have just a private question ab out ...
 
Oli
If anybody's interested, I'm running a small workshop on how to get screws out with swear words and crowbars.
 
better make this room X-rated oli!
 
@Oli I saw a crowbar but might not be yours? want is anyway?
 
12:15 PM
hi
 
Oli
I doubt the room I'm physically in would get a rating. A *********king rawl plug has lost grip in a wall but the thing that's screwed into it is held against it by the other side of the cupboard this is all in... Which is itself held there by a bannister. I'm only trying to move a shelf but it looks like I'm going to have to dismantle the whole house (or cut through the shelf (which is itself not easy because there's only about 3" of space around this thing).
 
ho
 
Oli
I miss DIY that could be solved by hitting things with a brick.
 
lol
 
@Oli That's been out for a long time
 
12:17 PM
If 1 brick does not work try 2 bricks!
 
Oli
So I either need a jigsaw or the atom bomb. I own neither.
Time to hack it up with a butter knife.
 
Can any one please update me the contents of /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/glamoregl.conf
there are 4 5 lines
 
Oli
Section "Module"
	Disable  "glamoregl"
EndSection
That's my whole file.
Why don't I own a cutting laser?
Ding dong, the witch is dead.
 
my fine is identical
make that "file"
 
@Oli is there a way of restoring system which was incorrectly updated?
 
Oli
12:29 PM
@Danatela You can usually continue an update (eg if it crashes, worst possible case scenario) through a standard LiveCD, chroot and bind-mount fix.
I describe that motion of events in this answer: askubuntu.com/questions/29004/…
But instead of adding a user to a group, you'd just run the sudo apt-get dist-upgrade, etc commands
 
It did not crash, I installed xorg-edgers repository before system repository
 
Oli
@Danatela Okay so what's the status of things, broken deps?
 
now it is very slow with nvidia drivers and nouveau are flickering
packages are fine
 
Oli
ppa-purge the PPA?
That'll reset you back to stock X and drivers.
Or should do, at least
 
did several times, didn't help
even installed ubuntu-x-swat but there are no updates
 
Oli
12:34 PM
So are you on standard repository versions of everything now? Check apt-cache policy <package> for the various X packages and nvidia-* and make sure you're not on a later-than-candidate version... If you are you haven't run ppa-purge correctly.
 
those openbsd guys made a LibreSSL :D
 
Oli
@Rinzwind Yeah they've been going wild on it.
 
@Oli thanks I will try
 
I just saw it :D comic sans :D
 
Thanks @Oli
 
12:35 PM
 
Oli
That's a funny way to make a point. Too busy deleting awful code to make a decent website.
 
"No we don't want help making web pages, thank you. " :D
 
Dan
> This page scientifically designed to annoy web hipsters. Donate now to stop the Comic Sans and Blink Tags
 
@don.joey typical openbsd developers behaviour ;=)
oh and that is a compliment :D
@terdon stop flagging nonsense >:D
 
@Rinzwind That was not me!
 
12:48 PM
oh but your name was in the message >:F
 
@Rinzwind Huh? Seriously?
Don't see how, the flag appeared for me too.
 
ah well :=D
 
morning gents
