Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting To nullify multiple log files older than X days. Post 302991149 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 7th of February 2017 07:37:10 AM

If you are getting the list of files you want with one of the above, what would you prefer to happen next?

The second find command is selecting file in the current directory and below that are older than seven days, more correctly more than 7*24*60*60 seconds since last modified. The -exec ls -lrt {} \; section then attempts to give you the long (reversed time ordered) listing of each file. This is a one-at-a-time list, so the output will still be unsorted. Does this really matter?

You might do better with one of these:-
Code:
find . -mtime +7 -exec ls -lrt {} +
find . -mtime +7 | xargs ls -lrt

.... however if there are too many files to list in one go, this will break into multiple ls commands and the output will be sorted in chunks but still not entirely.


What is the eventual plan for the selected files?
