Issue with find command using links
Hi,
Having a simple issue with find command on Sun. The command works fine if the variable is set to the actual filesystem but fails when the variable is set to a link which is pointing to the same filesystem. export DUMPDEST=/oradata1/exports/pbm - Set the variable oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/home/oracle> find ${DUMPDEST} -name "${ORACLE_SID}*FULL*" -mtime +2 -exec ls -l {} \; -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 398239993 Aug 15 01:24 /oradata1/exports/pbm/PBM_15Aug05_FULL_3.dmp.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 367997548 Aug 15 01:09 /oradata1/exports/pbm/PBM_15Aug05_FULL_1.dmp.Z -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 306083283 Aug 15 01:17 /oradata1/exports/pbm/PBM_15Aug05_FULL_2.dmp.Z export DUMPDEST=/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM/exports - Set the path with the value as link. oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> find ${DUMPDEST} -name "${ORACLE_SID}*FULL*" -mtime +2 -exec ls -l {} \; oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> pwd /u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> ls -l total 176 lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 21 Dec 13 2004 exports -> /oradata1/exports/pbm It sounds like a small problem or is it a bug ? Any help will be appreciated.

By default find will not follow soft links. You can add the -follow option to make it do so:
find ${DUMPDEST} -follow -name "${ORACLE_SID}*FULL*" -mtime +2 -exec ls -l {} \;
