Thanks for your replys
that does not seam to work for me, I am using OpenBSD So i think in my case i would use date -j for the date. When try that it sais invalid time format
stat gives me below and the date i am looking for is "Nov 17 10:00:06 2009". If i load that into date -h it does not work i am sure because it has "Nov" in it.
4868 21129858 -rw------- 1 root wheel 84642584 186447 "Nov 21 07:16:04 2009" "Nov 17 10:00:06 2009" "Nov 21 14:00:05 2009" 16384 368 0 /var/log/maillog.100.gz
If i run "stat -f "%N %m" /var/log/maillog.100.gz" it will give me "/var/log/maillog.100.gz 1258470006" however not sure how to break apart the "1258470006" into month and day.

Hi There,
I was wondering how to manage files (ie. rm, cp , mv) based on date last modified and date created.
ie. Say i want to:

or
mv ./* ./temp/* (where the date modified > 27/1/2006 && date modified < 29/1/2006)

Hi,
Currently, we have a Perl script from a third-party vendor that is generating core dumps. It has been reported. We can't turn off the script as it does generate some diagnostic file that's required. So at the moment, we have to let it continue to do its run.

RENAME(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide RENAME(1)
NAME
rename - renames multiple files
SYNOPSIS
rename [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -f ] perlexpr [ files ]
DESCRIPTION
"rename" renames the filenames supplied according to the rule specified as the first argument. The perlexpr argument is a Perl expression
which is expected to modify the $_ string in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified. If a given filename is not modified by the
expression, it will not be renamed. If no filenames are given on the command line, filenames will be read via standard input.
For example, to rename all files matching "*.bak" to strip the extension, you might say
rename 's/.bak$//' *.bak
To translate uppercase names to lower, you'd use
rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
OPTIONS
-v, --verbose
Verbose: print names of files successfully renamed.
-n, --no-act
No Action: show what files would have been renamed.
-f, --force
Force: overwrite existing files.
ENVIRONMENT
No environment variables are used.
AUTHOR
Larry Wall
SEE ALSO
mv(1), perl(1)
DIAGNOSTICS
If you give an invalid Perl expression you'll get a syntax error.
BUGS
The original "rename" did not check for the existence of target filenames, so had to be used with care. I hope I've fixed that (Robin
Barker).
