Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting find command to filter specific type of files older than certain date. Post 302636935 by methyl on Tuesday 8th of May 2012 06:37:55 AM

Please post what Operating System and version you are running. There is much variation in the "find" command.


In unix and some versions of Linux, the "or" condition needs protected brackets. Also, you have two "-print" parameters on the line. To prevent accidental matches with non-files specify "-type f".

Code:
find . -type f \( -name '*.err' -o -name '*.log' \)  -mtime +180 -print
