Writing a shell script to move files

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to write a shell script that will move files from one directory to another at a time specified by me. I've got a similar script attached to an Automator action, which is triggered nightly by iCal.
Of course, this one simply deletes files that are older than a day in a couple of locations. I'd like to have another that MOVES files and folders from one location to another. So far, I've come up with this:
find /Volumes/Location/01/* -type d -or -type f -mtime +7 -exec mv -f /Volumes/Location/01/* /Volumes/Location/02/ ;
Which just about works, but it actually seems to be moving all the files that are LESS than a week old. Any and all suggestions are appreciated, as I'm a total n00b here.

Answer 1

find /Volumes/Location/01/*
-type d -or -type f -mtime +7
-exec mv -f /Volumes/Location/01/* /Volumes/Location/02/ ;

your -exec is not selecting the files or directories found by the 'find' command.
It is moving everything in /Volumes/Location/01/*
Looking at "man find", I think you want your -exec to be
-exec /Volumes/Location/01/{} /Volumes/Location/02/ ;
As red_menace has pointed out, you have to change your -type options
so that you select directories or files.
You may also want to include -prune so that you do not decend
into subdirectories.
While the following is untested, I might write the command like this:
find /Volumes/Location/01/*
-prune -mtime +7
( -type d -or -type f )
-exec mv -f /Volumes/Location/01/{} /Volumes/Location/02/ ;
