Hi guys, I am looking for a way of moving all files out of a directory with a time stamp greater then the one I specify. Can anyone suggest a way of doing so?
For example, move all files out of dir1 which were created after 17:00 into dir2.
If I use the find command to find files older than n days I have to enter
find . -mtime +(n-1). I tried this on a Solaris 9 system and also Linux. Is this something that all Unix veterans know about (I'm new to Unix)? If so, maybe my man pages need to be updated (how to do this?). :confused: (4 Replies)
...what am i doing wrong??
I need to find all files older than 30 days and delete but I can't get it to pull details for ANY + times. The file below has a time stamp which is older than 1 day, however if I try and select it using any of the -time flags it just doesn't see it. (the same thing... (1 Reply)

Hello everyone,
I have got two queries:
1) I want to do some work on files that were last modified yesterday.
Will find ... -mtime -2 be correct or -mtime-1?
2)What about finding files that were modified today? Will it be -mtime -0 or -mtime -1?
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.

rsnapshot-diff
rsnapshot-diff(1)rsnapshot-diff(1)NAME
rsnapshot-diff - a utility for comparing the disk usage of two snapshots taken by rsnapshot
SYNOPSIS
rsnapshot-diff [-h|vVi] dir1 dir2
DESCRIPTION
rsnapshot-diff is a companion utility for rsnapshot, which traverses two parallel directory structures and calculates the difference
between them. By default it is silent apart from displaying summary information at the end, but it can be made more verbose.
In the summary, "added" files may very well include files which at first glance also appear at the same place in the older directory
structure. However, because the files differ in some respect, they are different files. They have a different inode number. Consequently
if you use -v most of its output may appear to be pairs of files with the same name being removed and added.
OPTIONS -h (help)
Displays help information
-v (verbose)
Be verbose. This will spit out a list of all changes as they are encountered, as well as the summary at the end.
-V (more verbose)
Be more verbose - as well as listed changes, unchanged files will be listed too.
-i (ignore)
If verbosity is turned on, -i suppresses information about symlinks, directories, and special files.
dir1 and dir2
These are the only compulsory parameters, and should be the names of two directories to compare. Their order doesn't matter,
rsnapshot-diff will always compare the younger to the older, so files that appear only in the older will be reported as having been
removed, and files that appear only in the younger will be reported as having been added.
