homework?

After looking at you other posts, it is clear that you are inexperienced with unix and it appears that this may be homework, but it is a simple question so I will answer.

Use the find command, do a "man find" and it will show you quite a bit about how to format the command. There are some examples at the bottom of the listing.

Also, you can go to a good UNIX tutorial website or go to www.itrc.hp.com and use the search option to browse the MAN pages. Although this is for HPUX, the find command is generic for the most part.

Have fun learning UNIX!

mlmmj-maintd(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   mlmmj-maintd(1)

NAME
mlmmj-maintd - maintenance for mlmmj maintained lists SYNOPSIS
mlmmj-maintd [-F] [-d | -L] /path/to/dir -d: Full path to directory with lists -L: Full path to list directory -F: Don't fork, performing one maintenance run only. DESCRIPTION
This is the program doing the maintenance for an mlmmj based mailing list. It will unsubscribe people who have bounced for long enough, send out bounce probes, resend mails that couldn't be delivered to relayhost, clean out stale requests for e.g. subscription, resend list mails and clean up leftover files etc. If a directory containing several lists exists, the -d can be used to specify this, making mlmmj-maintd perform a maintenance run in every listdir below the specified one. Only either -d or -L can be specified at the same time. It will run as a daemon, unless the -F switch is specified, in which case it just runs once. The -F option should be used when one wants to avoid running another daemon, and use e.g. cron to control it instead. In case cron is used, mlmmj-maintd should be run every 2 hours or so. An example crontab entry: 0 */2 * * * /usr/bin/mlmmj-maintd -F -L /path/to/list AUTHORS
