Use /usr/bin/find to locate all the zip files,
/usr/bin/unzip to test them and /usr/bin/mv to move them into whatever
destination you choose.:
for F in `find . -name "*.zip"`; do
unzip -t "$F" >/dev/null 2>&1 || mv "$F" /destination/directory;
done
You can type this as three separate lines at the shell prompt. The shell will
wait for the third line ("done") before executing the whole lot. Just get your
punctuation right! Yes, those are back-ticks around the find command! :-)
Note this searches in "." (current directory) and subdirectories, so if you
want to search elsewhere change the find command to suit. Use "/" (no quotes)
to search the entire disk.
Also, this searches for .zip files and not .ZIP files or .Zip files. Do
multiple passes or change the find command to suit:
-name "*.zip" -o -name "*.ZIP" -o -name "*.Zip"
Good luck!
