Find all log files under all file systems older than 2 days and zip them
Hi All,
Problem Statement:Find all log files under all file systems older than 2 days and zip them. Find all zip files older than 3days and remove them. Also this has to be set under cron.
I have a concerns here
Code:
find . -mtime +2 -iname "*.log" -exec gzip {}
Not sure if this will work as the files will be having different permissions. Does it need to be configured at root level for it to perform the activity for all user files on the server
please help

I need to find files that have the ending of .out and that are older than 20 days. However, I cannot use find as I do not want to search in the directories that are underneath the directory that I am searching in.
How can this be done?? Find returns files that I do not want. (2 Replies)

What command arguments I can use in unix to list files older than 10 days in my current directory, but I don't want to list the hidden files.
find . -type f -mtime +15 -print will work but, it is listing all the hidden files., which I don't want. (4 Replies)

find * -mtime +30 | xargs rm
I run this command inside the directory and it returns the error:

Hi All,
I know the separate commands for finding files greater than 30 days and finding files greater than 1GB.
How do I combine these two commands?
Meaning how do I find files which are > 1GB and older than 30 days?

file::find::rule::procedural
File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Rule::Procedural(3)NAME
File::Find::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of things
that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^
|
Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
