Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting find command not searching path when -newer specified Post 302657783 by fletchdb2 on Monday 18th of June 2012 11:09:57 AM

The path is given in the find command: /db2/D01/log_archive. You do not specify the path with either -name or -newer, just the filename. Can you give me an example of how you would use the -newer option when the current path is not the path specified in the find command? Thanks for your help.

NAME
fs_getcalleraccess - Show the current user's access to a file or directory SYNOPSIS
fs getcalleraccess [-path <path>+] [-help] fs gca [-p <path>] [-h] DESCRIPTION
The fs getcalleraccess command displays the access that the current user has to the specified path using the same representation as fs listacl. OPTIONS
-help Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored. -path <path>+ The -path option specifies the path on which to operate. -path may be omitted. If this option isn't given, the default is to act on the current directory. OUTPUT
For each path, fs getcalleraccess outputs a line like: Callers access to <directory> is <rights> where <directory> is the path on which it is operating and <rights> is an ACL string in the same format as is returned by fs listacl. See fs_listacl(1) for more information about AFS ACL strings. EXAMPLES
The following command shows the current user's access to the path /afs/openafs.org, which is read and lookup access. % fs getcalleraccess /afs/openafs.org Callers access to /afs/openafs.org is rl % PRIVILEGE REQUIRED
No special privileges are required for this command. SEE ALSO
