Bash: Find, copy and rename files

Vote count:

0

I am trying to copy files (on the same server) created in the last 24 hours using the filename which is a Unix timestamp.

find /srv/docs/files/ -type f -iname '*.pdf' -mtime -1 -exec cp {}   /srv/docs/pdf \;

However, I would like to extend this further.

1. All files are named in this manner 1425787200.pdf. I would like to rename the file Sunday-0400.pdf


2. I would would like to create a new directory /srv/docs/pdf/day/time/ .

So a file named 1425787200.pdf would end up in /srv/docs/pdf/Sunday/0400/Sunday-0400.pdf

Additionally, if the file already exists, an incremental number should be added to the file. eg Sunday-0400-1.pdf, Sunday-0400-2.pdf

Any help is appreciated.
