Questions;

1. How do you add a date to the unzipped folder name, or indeed its contents?
2. How do you delete the oldest zip files found inside a folder?
3. How do you move zip files to a backup folder once extraction has been complete?
4. How do you verify that the contents of the zip file have not been corrupted?
5. How do you run MySQL commands from a bash script, such as to load a csv file from the contents of a zip file into MySQL table?

Thanks
