The solution you provided is working perfectly for this scenario.
We also have a requirement where the files are placed in our directory on a daily basis.
In this case, we want the choose and process the file based on a date (placed in our directory) range. The solution you provided is not working in this case as it looking at the file creation date.
As I said before, most filesystems DO NOT STORE a file creation date for files and there is no way to determine the date on which a file was created using standard interfaces. If the last modification timestamp of a file is insufficient for you needs, you need to:
- make sure that you are storing these files on a filesystem type that keeps track of file creation dates, find an operating system specific way to look at the file's creation date for files on that filesystem, and find a way to use that operating system specific way of examining files to select the files you want to process,
- include the file creation date in the pathnames of your files and select files to process based on the date in each file's pathname, or
- put unprocessed files in a separate directory and move them to a different directory after they have been processed.
Since you haven't told us what operating system AND filesystem type you're using, we have no way to guess whether or not what you want is possible with method 1. You can use method 2 or 3 on any operating system.

used, it does a slower version of disk accounting by login directory. files specifies the one or more filesystem names
where disk accounting is to be done. If files is used, disk accounting will be done on these filesystems only. If the flag
is used, files should be mount points of mounted filesystem. If omitted, they should be the special file names of mountable
filesystems.

reports can be printed by using the mmdd option and specifying the exact report date desired. The flag prints a report of
exceptional usage by login id for the specifed date. Previous daily reports are cleaned up and therefore inaccessible after
