command to find most recent file
Hi,
Here is my problem:
I try to write a script to find data in a file named "data" for exemple.
Let's say I am in the directory /x/y/z, there are several sub-directories in the "z" directory (each sub-directory has a file "data") and I am searching for the word "help".
So I use this command to search my data:
find /x/y/z -type f -name data -exec grep "help" {} +
It works, but how can I search for the word "help" in the most recent files "data".
I try with the command "-newer" but it did not work
Please, can somebody help me?
Thanks

lmfsetup
lmfsetup(8) System Manager's Manual lmfsetup(8)
NAME
lmfsetup - License Management Facility (LMF) registration script
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/lmfsetup [template]
DESCRIPTION
You use the lmfsetup script to register data supplied by a Product Authorization Key (PAK). The lmfsetup script prompts you for the data
associated with each field on a PAK. Once you enter all the data, LMF makes sure you have supplied entries for all mandatory fields and
that the value in the Checksum field validates the license data. If all data is correct, LMF registers the PAK in the License Database. If
any data is incorrect, LMF displays the appropriate error message and gives you an opportunity to reenter the data.
The template argument allows you to register license data from templates in /usr/var/adm/lmf. The templates stored in this directory are
created by some software products during their installation process. When you use a template, the script prompts you to supply data for any
empty fields in the template. If the lmfsetup script cannot find the specified template in /usr/var/adm/lmf, it searches your current work-
ing directory.
Use the lmfsetup script when you want to register a PAK without using an editor. Normally, you should use the lmf register command. The
lmf register command displays a template, which includes the fields on the PAK, and invokes an editor so that you can add the license data
to the appropriate fields. The lmf register command allows you to correct errors without having to reenter all the data.
