The original command is:

Code:
find ${DATAENV}/raw/archive/storage -mtime +4 -type fd

The ${DATAENV}/raw is the linked area. so find can't tell that the levels preceeding are links.

I tried with the -H and -L and -follow -xdev etc all seem to do nothing and indicate that find thinks its on the /tmp/storage/.... area from the start.

The only way I can see around this is to do some sort of pre-check:

Code:
NEWPATH=$(ls -l ${UKDWENV} | grep raw | sed 's/.*\-> //g')

and then use ${NEWPATH} in the find.

Just seems like there should be a command like ls / other to disclose a files true location.
