Will this bash script work?

[babadoctor]

now=$(date +"%b%-d")

echo $now

mkdir $now

mv *.jpg $now

Will this work alright?

Will it move to the folder named with the date?

 

 

I also want it to not throw the error can not move itself, if possible

It should be ok. I would add check if directory already exists, so if you want to move your photos twice a day it won't crash on it. BTW. Why didn't you just check yourself?

I did end up testing it, but it will only be moving the backup of my pictures once per day.
