Full Discussion: Any alternative for mmin or cmin parameter
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Any alternative for mmin or cmin parameter Post 302989905 by Don Cragun on Thursday 19th of January 2017 03:14:53 PM

Solaris 5.10's find doesn't have fine-grained timestamp checking like GNU's find utility. A common way for dealing with this on Solaris systems is to create a file with a timestamp matching the start point you're interested in using:
Code:
touch -t YYYYMMDDhhmm /tmp/start_time

and then using:
Code:
/usr/xpg4/bin/find "file hierarchies to be searched..." -name '*.log' -newer /tmp/start_time -exec ls -lrt {} +

(Note that -exec ls -lrt {} \; executes ls once for each file selected, so the output probably will not be in time sorted order. With -exec ls -lrt {} +, ls will be executed once for a group of files, but there is still no guarantee that all of the selected files will be sorted by timestamp. But, if the number of files you're selecting is relatively small [which I would expect to be true when selecting files no more than an hour old], the selected files will probably all be listed in reverse timestamp order.)
