Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Writte a script to copy the files older than 7 days using find and cp Post 302800455 by MadeInGermany on Monday 29th of April 2013 08:23:37 PM

Code:
find . -type f -name "VPN_
CALLRECORD_20130422*" -exec cp "{}" /home/sysadm/
patrick_temp/ +

-exec handles
special file names well.
+ can be faster than \;
