help with sorting files
Code:
find / -type f 2> /dev/null | find -inum +1 2> /dev/null | find -mtime -30  2> /dev/null

what i am trying to do i search all regular files in root directory with one or more
inodes modified within last 30 days.
the /dev/null is to suppress the permission denied outputs.

i am now trying to get all those files and execute ls -lc and ls -lu commands on them to display the date last modified and date last accessed of the files.
i am clueless on how to do execute the ls -lc, ls -lu.

i tried
Code:
find / -type f 2> /dev/null | find -inum +1 2> /dev/null | find -mtime -30  -exec ls -lc 2> /dev/null

and
Code:
find / -type f 2> /dev/null | find -inum +1 2> /dev/null | find -mtime -30  -exec ls -lc{}\; 2> /dev/null

and no output.

1. make sure you respect the <space> character
2. make sure you have at least 1 directory that match these conditions and that you have enough authorizations to access this directory
3. i used the options you mentionned without checking what it does (so i assume the ls -lc makes sens on your OS)

works and makes sense.

both commands work.
Code:
find / -type f -inum +1 -mtime -30 -exec ls -lu {} \; 2>/dev/null

and second command.
Code:
find / -type f -inum +1 -mtime -30 -exec ls -lc {} \; 2>/dev/null

less scan (do it in one pass) :
Code:
2>/dev/null find / -type f -inum +1 -mtime -30 -print | while read f ; do ls -lc $f ; ls -lu $f ; done
