Full Discussion: Command to find files older than 1 hour
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Command to find files older than 1 hour Post 302928508 by junior-helper on Friday 12th of December 2014 08:19:47 AM

Below timestamp corresponds to YYMMDDHHMM, please adjust it for your requirement; if required, YYYYMMDDHHMMSS should work too (see man touch).
Code:
touch -t 1412121200 /tmp/newer

(Alternatively, you could use a reference file to take its timestamp, e.g. touch -r /path/to/reffile /tmp/newer)
Code:
find /path/to/dir -type f ! -newer /tmp/newer

Make sure you "update" your /tmp/newer file accordingly if you run find again at a later date.

update-metainit

UPDATE-METAINIT(1)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					UPDATE-METAINIT(1)

NAME

       update-metainit - Generates init scripts

SYNOPSIS

       update-metainit [--remove initname [--purge] ]

DESCRIPTION

       Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of manually creating these important files, they are derived from a
       declaritive description in the metainit files in /etc/metainit. These files can be shipped with packages or created by the local adminis-
       trator.

       If update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init scripts for all the files in /etc/metainit. The generated files contain
       a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden. Modifications are preferably done in the files in /etc/metainit and made
       effective by running update-metainit. If needed, the administrator can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment.

OPTIONS

       --remove initname
	   This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts that were created by the metainit file with the name initname.

       --purge
	   Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if modified.
