where [something you want] is a past time
-1H == one hour ago
-5M == 5 minutes ago.
So try -15M and run it at :05 after the hour.
A comment to make your life easier -- :
Those filename "timestamps" could easily be stale. ie., I started my process at 12:59.
It has 12 as the hour, because it was opened at 12:59, when open created the file.
But. It is now 13:02. My report process is still running! So, when you sftp, you are not going to get my whole file. It has not closed yet. To be safe you really should look at the mtime of the files.
I've looked at several of the previous posts and can't seem to find any that pertain to my problem, I'd appreciate some help if possible.
I have a directory with numerous logs of various names all named by heading and date ie.
dog.20050529.log
dog.20050530.log

Hi Everyone!
Looking for some help with a script that will take all files in any given root folder (which are not already in a folder) and put them into separate folders with the name of each given file.
Any ideas?

I need to be able to identify files with file timestamps greater than a given timestamp.
I am using the following solution, although it appears to compare files at the "seconds" granularity and I need it at the milliseconds. When I tested my solution, it missed files that had timestamps... (3 Replies)

sa2
sa2(8) BSD System Manager's Manual sa2(8)NAME
sa2 -- Generate a system activity daily report file.
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/sa/sa2 [-dgpu] [-n mode] [-e time] [-f filename] [-i seconds] [-s time]
DESCRIPTION
The sa2 command is a shell script used to invoke the system activity reporter sar for purposes of generating the standard default daily
report file. The report file generated is, /var/log/sa/sardd where the dd represents the current day of the month. The sa2 options are the
same as those documented in sar(1).
When sa2 runs, it will also remove data and report files, found in /var/log/sa, that are more than one week old.
The sa2 command is intended to be started by cron.
EXAMPLE CRON ENTRY
# Starting at 8am collect system activity records
# every 20 minutes for 12 hours
# 20 minutes = 1200 seconds
# 12 hours with 3 samples each hour = 36 loops
0 8 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa1 1200 36
# After the 12 hour period,
# collect a system activity report
30 20 * * 1-5 /usr/lib/sa/sa2 -A
FILES
/var/log/sa/sardd Default daily report file.
/var/log/sa/sadd Default daily data file.
dd are digits that represent the day of the month.
