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.

Hi,
I am trying to find all files in a directory that have .dat and .int extensions and removing them.
rm -f `find ${MY_DIR} -type f -name '*.dat' -o -name '*.int'`
This works fine if $MY_DIR is a regular directory.
However when $MY_DIR is a symbolic link then this command fails.

Is there a way to either:
a) Make a symbolic link... (1 Reply)
I am interested in searching links to files not found within a directory, so I use the -follow option. However, the dir may contain links to files that are also found within the dir. That means if I bin/find a bunch of files then search their contents using grep, I get redundant information. An... (1 Reply)

ff_hfs: ff - list file names and statistics for HFS file system
SYNOPSIS
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).
Write the file size, in bytes, after each path name.
Write the owner's login name after each path name.
Echo the completed command line, but performs no other action.
The command line is generated by incorporating the user-specified options and other information derived from This
option allows the user to verify the command line.
EXAMPLES
List the path names and i-numbers of all files in the file system
Same as above, but suppress the printing of i-numbers:
List files on the same file system that have been modified recently, displaying the path name, i-number, and owner's user name (the
option). List only files that have been modified within the last two days (the option):
List all files on the same file system, including the path name and i-number of each file, that was last accessed more than 30 days ago
Find all path names associated with i-nodes and (the option):
Execute the command on an HFS file system

Static information about the file systems.
