Thanks for the replies, think both would work if I was searching in the directory above. The issue is its a linked directory and I am searching lower down the path i.e:

${DATAENV}/raw/archive/storage

Where the raw directory is a linked one. So any files found in storage find see's as real files. Don't think what I need, with the restrictions I have has a solution (at least not a simple / one liner :-( ).

Think its going to be a re-write of the script and calling scripts to pass in a new path to the real files.

Thanks for your replies.

Came up with this solution:

Code:
find ${DATAENV}/raw/archive/storage -mtime +4 -type fd | head -1 | 
awk -v DEF=${DATAENV} -v q=\' ' { 
print "echo " $0 " | sed \"s?" DEF "?`df -g " $0 " | awk " q " { print $7 } " q " | tail -1`?g\" " 
} ' | ksh | other-commands-here

Phew.

num] num] inode-list] num] file] prefix] special ... DESCRIPTION
The command reads the i-list and directories of each special file special, assuming it to be an HFS file system, saving i-node data for files that match the selection criteria. Output consists of the path name for each saved i-node, plus any other file information requested using the print options below. Output fields are positional. The output is produced in i-node order; fields are separated by tabs. The default line produced by contains the path name and i-number fields. With all options specified, the output fields include path name, i- number, size, and user ID. The num parameter in the options descriptions is a decimal number, where means more than num, means less than num, and num means exactly num. A day is defined as a 24-hour period. lists only a single path name out of many possible ones for an i-node with more than one link, unless you specify the option. With applies no selection criteria to the names listed. All possible names for every linked file on the file system are included in the output. On very large file systems, memory may run out before completes execution. Options and Arguments recognizes the following options and arguments: Select a file if the i-node has been accessed in num days. Select a file if the i-node has been changed in num days. Specify the HFS file system type. Generate names for any i-node specified in the inode-list. Do not display the i-node number after each path name. Generate a list of all path names for files with more than one link. Select a file associated with an i-node if it has been modified in num days. Select a file associated with an i-node if it has been modified more recently than the specified file. Add the specified prefix to each path name. The default prefix is (dot).
