Find files newer than x days
We had an arrant rsync run and started copying over new files from one system to another.
Although this is what we will want to do at some point, for now, we want to maintain the system as it was a few days ago.
I am looking for a script that will find files that are newer than x days.
Ultimately I want to traverse directories looking for these and delete but having the find command work is step one.
Thanx in advance

I need to find files that have the ending of .out and that are older than 20 days. However, I cannot use find as I do not want to search in the directories that are underneath the directory that I am searching in.
How can this be done?? Find returns files that I do not want. (2 Replies)

sendinpaths
SENDINPATHS(8) InterNetNews Documentation SENDINPATHS(8)
NAME
sendinpaths - Send Usenet Path: statistics via e-mail
SYNOPSIS
sendinpaths [-cdhn] [-k keep-days] [-r report-days] [address [address ...]]
DESCRIPTION
sendinpaths checks pathlog/path for ninpaths dump files, finds dump files generated in the past report-days days, makes sure they are valid
by running ninpaths on each one and making sure the exit status is zero, and passes them to ninpaths to generate a cumulative report. By
default, that report is mailed to the e-mail addresses configured at the beginning of this script (by default, only one address is
configured: <top1000@anthologeek.net>) in order to supply the TOP1000 project with useful statistics. See
<http://top1000.anthologeek.net/> for more information.
When finished, sendinpaths deletes all dump files in pathlog/path that are older than keep-days days.
For more information on how to set up ninpaths, see ninpaths(8).
OPTIONS
-c When this flag is used, the report is also e-mailed, besides the default submission addresses or those given as command-line arguments,
to the newsmaster's address set at configure time.
-d Enables debug messages.
-h Gives usage information.
-k keep-days
After having processed dump files, sendinpaths removes those that are older than keep-days days. The default is 0, that is to say to
remove all dump files.
Setting keep-days to another value can be useful for debugging purpose because it permits to keep a few dump files.
-n Don't e-mail the report; instead, just print it to standard output. Don't delete old dump files.
-r report-days
Process dump files generated during the last report-days days. The default is 32, that is to say to process all the dump files that
have been generated during the last 32 days (if, of course, they have not been deleted yet by a previous run of sendinpaths according
to the value set by the -k flag).
address ...
E-mail the report to the mentioned address or addresses, instead of the default one. Several addresses can be used, separated by
whitespace. For instance, for two adresses:
sendinpaths pathsurvey@top1000.org top1000@anthologeek.net
