OK thanks so my script now looks like this...

Code:
#!/bin/bash
## File Access Report
## Only edit the next 3 lines.
#Days ago to search
DAYS="365"
#TLD path you want to search
DIR="/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/"
#Output filename
FILENAME="/Files_For_Archiving.txt"
#
find "${DIR}" -type f -atime +${DAYS}  -printf FORMAT %Ak > $FILENAME

I am trying to use the print command to output the results formatted with a timestamp to my Variable Filename.

This doesn't seem to work or at lest my understanding the argument -print in the find command man page is off track?

Also I understand that backup software may alter the access timestamp but unless I have some long script that compares the <atime> with <mtime> I am unsure what to do. It a policy for archival, what I want to do is compile a list of human readable files (with paths to the file) of files over Xdays old which will mean they get archived off to tape.

If anyone has a better solution I am all ears :-)

But in the mean time I think this script is almost doneż? apart from the print formatting to the output file.
