Find accessed file in past 1 or 2 minutes, and throw mail.

varungupta · #1 (**permalink**) 08-30-2007

Can Anyone tell me how to write the Script to "find file(s) in a directory that is being accessed in last 5 minutes, and if there is result of that find, then throw the mail ".

Means throw the mail to a person regarding whoever and whenever a file is accessed in a directory.

ASAP.
Thnks.

use find and mailx.

Code:

find . -type f -mmin -2

look at man mailx for more details.

Cheers,
K

MYPATH="/clocal/mqbrkrs/user/mqsiadm/xyz/"
find "$MYPATH" -type f -amin -1 > tempfind.txt

In the above path I want to find the files which has been viewed/opened/touched/modified by any user in past 1 minute.
Viewed/opened/touched means file contents has been opened using more/cat/tail/head etc. commands.

find command that i am using, it shows the name of the file in which i have written the script (Means the script file only).

I have already checked the man find.
Can you guide me on this !!

Thanks !!
