Hi,

find could certainly be used in this scenario, yes. Here's a quick example based on a timescale of one minute, rather than one day, just to demonstrate the principal in action:

Code:

$ touch /tmp/testfile
$ find /tmp/testfile -mmin +1
$ sleep 60
$ find /tmp/testfile -mmin +1
/tmp/testfile
$

So the idea is to run your find command pointing directly at the file you're interested in, and specify your interval. So our example here is based on finding the file if it's been modified more than one minute ago via -mmin +1, but you could just as easily check for over one day with -mtime +1.

Hope this helps.

alert

alert(3alleg4)							  Allegro manual						    alert(3alleg4)

NAME

       alert - Displays a popup alert box. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       int alert(const char *s1, *s2, *s3, const char *b1, *b2, int c1, c2);

DESCRIPTION

       Displays  a  popup  alert  box,	containing  three lines of text (s1-s3), and with either one or two buttons. The text for these buttons is
       passed in `b1' and `b2' (`b2' may be NULL), and the keyboard shortcuts in `c1' and `c2' as ASCII value. Example:

	  if (!exists(CONFIG_FILE))
	     alert(CONFIG_FILE, "not found.", "Using defaults.",
		   "&Continue", NULL, 'c', 0);

RETURN VALUE

       Returns 1 or 2 depending on which button was clicked. If the alert is dismissed by pressing ESC when ESC is not one of the keyboard  short-
       cuts, it treats it as a click on the second button (this is consistent with the common "Ok", "Cancel" alert).
