Hi Guys

I want to write a script or a command tha will give me certain files and exclude others. For example I have log files that I want to move to another directory but I don't want to move the logs that were generated today...I am using HP-UX...

Please Help

Thanks

does your system have find command? if yes, does it have -mtime -type -name options?

Yes it does have those functions...

this is a small example

which will remove the file xxx* which has not accessed 14 days before


find your directory -name "xxx*" -mtime +14 -exec rm "{}" ";"


Cheers,
Arun

find . -mtime +2 -print
Period (.) is for current directory. This will print all logs more than 2 days old.

if you want to move those files to some other directory use mv command with -exec.

Hope this will help you.
