When i run that command, it gives me Novemebr 11, we all know nvember 11 is more than two weeks ago.


Code:
find /tmp/logs* -type f -mtime +14 -exec ls -lrt {} \;

that command seems to work fine for me ... shows me files from Nov 17, Nov 3, and older,
but not a file from Nov 28.

Can you show some ls -ltr commands and getfacl commands on the files you believe it should pull back .. and show the command running and not picking them up?

(setup a smaller test directory if you need to .. Smilie )

Code:
 
touch -d "2014-12-01 13:12:01" test_dec.txt
touch -d "2014-11-28 13:12:01" test_nov28.txt
touch -d "2014-11-17 13:12:01" test_nov17.txt
touch -d "2014-11-01 13:12:01" test_nov1.txt
ls -ltr
-rw-r-----   1 user    group          0 Nov  1 13:12 test_nov1.txt
-rw-r-----   1 user    group          0 Nov 17 13:12 test_nov17.txt
-rw-r-----   1 user    group          0 Nov 28 13:12 test_nov28.txt
-rw-r-----   1 user    group          0 Dec  1 13:12 test_dec.txt
find . -type f -mtime +14 -exec ls -ltr {} \;
-rw-r-----   1 user    group          0 Nov 17 13:12 ./test_nov17.txt
-rw-r-----   1 user    group          0 Nov  1 13:12 ./test_nov1.txt

NAME
x2sys_merge - Merge an updated COEs tables SYNOPSIS
x2sys_merge -Amain_COElist.d -Mnew_COElist.d DESCRIPTION
x2sys_merge will read two crossovers data base and output the contents of the main one updated with the COEs in the second one. The second file should only contain updated COEs relatively to the first one. That is, it MUST NOT contain any new two tracks intersections (This point is NOT checked in the code). This program is useful when, for any good reason like file editing NAV correction or whatever, one had to recompute only the COEs between the edited files and the rest of the database. -A Specify the file main_COElist.d with the main crossover error data base. -M Specify the file new_COElist.d with the newly computed crossover error data base. OPTIONS
No space between the option flag and the associated arguments. EXAMPLES To update the main COE_data.txt with the new COEs estimations saved in the smaller COE_fresh.txt, try x2sys_merge -ACOE_data.txt -MCOE_fresh.txt > COE_updated.txt SEE ALSO
x2sys_binlist(1), x2sys_cross(1), x2sys_datalist(1), x2sys_get(1), x2sys_init(1), x2sys_list(1), x2sys_put(1), x2sys_report(1) GMT 4.5.7 15 Jul 2011 X2SYS_MERGE(1gmt)
