Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to search directory for specific file? Post 302625815 by neutronscott on Wednesday 18th of April 2012 10:32:51 AM

Was hoping to be able to use GNU date .. I see a stray backtick in 47's code at the end of the find command, otherwise it should produce results. Are you certain they are incorrect, what do you use to verify? Also the cat there is useless use of cat.

You're creating a file size which would end up being identical to the input file ... was it meant to include size information as well?

Code:
stat=/prod/STAT/seqfiles
while read name ret_period; do
    days=`echo "30.5 * ${ret_period}" | bc`
    old=`find "$stat" -name "$name" -mtime +"$days" -print`
    if [ -n "$old" ]; then
        echo "$old $ret_period" >> files_deletion
    fi
done < "/test/mkamal/ret/rulesx.txt"
