How can I generate random files with size 1mb each from 1-500 using linux shell script.
I wanted to create 100 random files in 500 directory locations but I am not able to create random files. 1 file with 500 directory is working with below command in shell script:
for i in {001..500};
do
for j in {001..001};
do dd if=/dev/urandom
of=/home/h2h/pickup/AGENT_CH_${j}/AG_${j}_File${i}.csv bs=1M count=1;
done
done
My directory locations as in format :
/home/h2h/pickup/AGENT_CH_001/
/home/h2h/pickup/AGENT_CH_002/
It' working fine to create 1 file each with 500 directories. Now I am trying to generate 10 files for any random 100 directories.
Can someone please help on this?
If I understand correctly, you need to have 100 random files in each 500 directories.
If so, try this:
for d in {001..500}; do
for f in {001..100}; do
dir="/home/h2h/pickup/AGENT_CH_${d}"
[ -d "$dir" ] || mkdir -p "$dir"
dd if=/dev/urandom of="${dir}/AG_${d}_File${f}.csv" bs=1M count=1
done
done
