Full Discussion: Why do these 2 find commands return different results?
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Why do these 2 find commands return different results? Post 302511865 by methyl on Thursday 7th of April 2011 08:11:16 PM

With acknowledgement to the ideas and discussion in posts #6 and #7.

Possible method: Use "ls -1d" (which does not descend the tree) to generate the file list then examine each file with find to determine the age. This method is inefficient for large numbers of files but easier to debug.

Code:
ls -1d ????10??_*.dat 2>/dev/null | while read filename
do
        if [ -f "${filename}" ]
        then
              find "${filename}" -type f -mtime +91 -print
        fi
done

Ps. The posts suggesting "find ... -prune" are the correct approach but only post #13 is close.

tpm_selftest(8) 					      System Manager's Manual						   tpm_selftest(8)

							  TPM Management - tpm_selftest

NAME

       tpm_selftest - request TPM perform selftest and report

SYNOPSIS

       tpm_selftest [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       tpm_selftest requests that the system's TPM perform a self test (via the TPM_SelfTestFull API) and report the results. The --results option
       reports the outcome of the last self test operation without requesting that another test be executed. If the TPM fails the self test, it
       enters failure mode where no commands are accepted. The results are reported in a manufacturer specific format. The TPM's self test is
       always executed automatically at every boot.

       -h, --help
	      Display command usage info.

       -v, --version
	      Display command version info.

       -l, --log [none|error|info|debug]
	      Set logging level.

       -r, --results
	      Report results only.
