A small query. How do i solve this in bash?
" move all files from folder1 to folder 2 who size is less than 250 Kb, which were created by october 25 and which were created by user 1"

Dont think you need a script for that:

find /folder1/* -user 1 -ctime +6 -size -250k | xargs -i mv {} /folder2/

Well Zaf is right. you can try script using zaf's command

Code:

files=$(find /folder1/* -user 1 -ctime +6 -size -250k)
dir="folder2"
for f in $files
do
  mv $f $dir
done

Above script can be use to do more stuff
