Operating Systems HP-UX Removing files from a particular month Post 302633911 by admin_xor on Wednesday 2nd of May 2012 04:09:37 PM
Old 05-02-2012
From today's date (03 May), this should work:
Code:
find . -type f  -mtime -$(( 3+30+31+29 )) -mtime +$(( 3+30+30 )) -exec ls -lv '{}' \;

Check the output first, confirm the dates before proceeding with delete.



Moderator's Comments:
Mod Comment With two -mtime switches on a find command line, only the second will be taken into account

NAME
metastore - stores and restores filesystem metadata SYNOPSIS
metastore ACTION [OPTION...] [PATH...] DESCRIPTION
Stores or restores metadata (owner, group, permissions, xattrs and optionally mtime) for a filesystem tree. This can be used to preserve the metadata in situations where it is usually not stored (git and tar for example) or as a tripwire like mechanism to detect any changes to metadata. Note that e.g. SELinux stores its labels in xattrs so care should be taken when applying stored metadata to make sure that system security is not compromised. ACTIONS
-c, --compare Shows the difference between the stored and real metadata. -s, --save Saves the current metadata to ./.metadata or to the specified file (see --file option below). -a, --apply Attempts to apply the stored metadata to the file system. -h, --help Prints a help message and exits. OPTIONS
-v, --verbose Causes metastore to print more verbose messages. Can be repeated more than once for even more verbosity. -q, --quiet Causes metastore to print less verbose messages. Can be repeated more than once for even less verbosity. -m, --mtime Causes metastore to also take mtime into account for the compare or apply actions. -e, --empty-dirs Also attempts to recreate missing empty directories. May be useful where empty directories are not tracked (e.g. by git or cvs). Only works in combination with the apply option. This is currently an experimental feature. -f <file>, --file <file> Causes the metadata to be saved, read from the specified file rather than ./.metadata. PATHS
If no path is specified, metastore will use the current directory as the basis for the actions. This is the recommended way of executing metastore. Alternatively, one or more paths can be specified and they will each be examined. Later invocations should be made using the exact same paths to ensure that the stored metadata is interpreted correctly. AUTHOR
