Now how can i use mtime to get the files of the current date i.e if i want the files of 25th feb 2009 and if im finding the files on 25th 12:10 am then i should only get the files after 12:00 am of 25th feb 2009.
right now im doing it this way but this gives me the files modified less than 1 day ago i.e., within the past 24 hours, as before.
Hey champs,
i am using the following commands to search 1day files available under a dir by shell script.
find <dirname> -type f -mtime +1
sometimes it used to show me correct results.....but sometimes it's not ???

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks. (1 Reply)
Hi
I've made some test with perl script to learn more about mtime...
So, my question is :
Why the mtime from findfind /usr/local/sbin -ctime -1 -mtime -1 \( -name "*.log" -o -name "*.gz" \) -print are not the same as mtime from unix/linux in ls -ltr or in stat() function in perl : stat -... (2 Replies)
Hi, so I was using mtime and its not behaving the way I would think its supposed too. I have two pdf files. One modified today and another 6 months ago. I upload them to the solaris server. Then I run the below find statements.
This finds my 2 files
find *.pdf -type f -name '*.pdf'
this finds... (2 Replies)
Hi, I'm sure this will be covered here already somewhere, but a search didn't throw up anything.
I'm trying to work out the extra bits needed in this command for this rsync so that it only copies files less than 7 days old:
rsync me@host:/logs/* .
I'm sure it just needs the mtime -7... (2 Replies)

file::touch
Touch(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Touch(3pm)NAME
File::Touch - update access and modification timestamps, creating nonexistent files where necessary.
SYNOPSIS
use File::Touch;
@file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc');
$count = touch(@file_list);
use File::Touch;
$reference_file = '/etc/passwd';
$touch_obj = File::Touch->new(
reference => $reference_file,
no_create => 1
);
@file_list = ('one.txt','../two.doc');
$count = $touch_obj->touch(@file_list);
DESCRIPTION
Here's a list of arguments that can be used with the object-oriented contruction:
atime_only => [0|1]
If nonzero, change only the access time of files. Default is zero.
mtime_only => [0|1]
If nonzero, change only the modification time of files. Default is zero.
no_create => [0|1]
If nonzero, do not create new files. Default is zero.
reference => $reference_file
If defined, use timestamps from this file instead of current time. Default is undefined.
atime => $time
If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for access time.
mtime => $time
If defined, use this time (in epoch seconds) instead of current time for modification time.
Examples
Update access and modification times, creating nonexistent files
use File::Touch;
my @files = ('one','two','three');
my $count = touch(@files);
print "$count files updated
";
Set access time forward, leave modification time unchanged
use File::Touch;
my @files = ('one','two','three');
my $day = 24*60*60;
my $time = time() + 30 * $day;
my $ref = File::Touch->new( atime_only => 1, time => $time );
my $count = $ref->touch(@files);
print "$count files updated
";
Set modification time back, update access time, do not create nonexistent files
use File::Touch;
my @files = ('one','two','three');
my $day = 24*60*60;
my $time = time() - 30 * $day;
my $ref = File::Touch->new( mtime => $time, no_create => 1 );
my $count = $ref->touch(@files);
print "$count files updated
";
