originally it was written on AIX and is working fine then had to moved the to same script to Linux. basically the goal of the script is to find a file that is days old depending on the parameter.
here is the output using this command sh -xv rmAgingFile.sh file*.log 2
Code:
p1=$1
+ p1=file_1.log
pday=$2
+ pday=file_2.log
vdir=`pwd`
pwd
++ pwd
+ vdir=/sbin/scripts
vhomedir=`pwd`
pwd
++ pwd
+ vhomedir=/sbin/scripts
vctr=0
+ vctr=0
# check for null parameter
if [ $# -lt 1 ]; then
echo current directory $vdir
echo no parameter entered
echo
else
#check for directory entry only
if [ -d $p1 ]; then
vdir=$p1
echo current directory $vdir
cd $vdir
echo no file parameter entered
echo
#check for directory entry and file
elif [ -f $p1 ]; then
vdir=`dirname $p1`
echo current directory $vdir
cd $vdir
for f in $1
do
vfile=`basename $f`
#for i in `find $vdir -name "$vfile" -mtime +$pday`
#ommit the subdirectories in the searcch
for i in `find . ! -name . -prune -type f -name "$vfile" -daystart -mtime +$pday`
do
let vctr=$vctr+1
vfile=`basename $i`
echo deleting aging files $vfile
rm $vfile
done
done
if [ $vctr -eq 0 ]; then
echo "no aging files found that are $pday days old"
fi
else
echo $p1 not found
fi
fi
+ '[' 3 -lt 1 ']'
+ '[' -d file_1.log ']'
+ '[' -f file_1.log ']'
dirname $p1
++ dirname file_1.log
+ vdir=.
+ echo current directory .
current directory .
+ cd .
+ for f in '$1'
basename $f
++ basename file_1.log
+ vfile=file_1.log
find . ! -name . -prune -type f -name "$vfile" -daystart -mtime +$pday
++ find . '!' -name . -prune -type f -name file_1.log -daystart -mtime +file_2.log
find: missing argument to `-mtime'
+ '[' 0 -eq 0 ']'
+ echo 'no aging files found that are file_2.log days old'
no aging files found that are file_2.log days old
#return the cursor to the home directory
cd $vhomedir

# put a white space

If I use the find command to find files older than n days I have to enter
find . -mtime +(n-1). I tried this on a Solaris 9 system and also Linux. Is this something that all Unix veterans know about (I'm new to Unix)? If so, maybe my man pages need to be updated (how to do this?). :confused: (4 Replies)
...what am i doing wrong??
I need to find all files older than 30 days and delete but I can't get it to pull details for ANY + times. The file below has a time stamp which is older than 1 day, however if I try and select it using any of the -time flags it just doesn't see it. (the same thing... (1 Reply)
Hi
I've made some test with perl script to learn more about mtime...
So, my question is :
Why the mtime from findfind /usr/local/sbin -ctime -1 -mtime -1 \( -name "*.log" -o -name "*.gz" \) -print are not the same as mtime from unix/linux in ls -ltr or in stat() function in perl : stat -... (2 Replies)
Hi guys, I am looking for a way of moving all files out of a directory with a time stamp greater then the one I specify. Can anyone suggest a way of doing so?
For example, move all files out of dir1 which were created after 17:00 into dir2.
Thanks :) (1 Reply)
Hi, so I was using mtime and its not behaving the way I would think its supposed too. I have two pdf files. One modified today and another 6 months ago. I upload them to the solaris server. Then I run the below find statements.
This finds my 2 files
find *.pdf -type f -name '*.pdf'
this finds... (2 Replies)
Hi Friends,
Please help me to sort out this problem, I am running this in centos o/s and whenever I run this script I am getting "find: missing argument to `-exec' " but when I run the same code in the command line I didn't find any problem. I am using perl script to run this ... (2 Replies)
Hi,
I'm trying to find all files that have a .ksh and .p extension and that are 7 days old by using the below find command but it doesn't seem to as expected. It gives me random results.. Can someone point out what may be wrong?
find . -name "*.ksh" -o -name "*.p" -mtime -7 (2 Replies)

file::find::object::rule::procedural
File::Find::Object::Rule::Procedural(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation File::Find::Object::Rule::Procedural(3pm)NAME
File::Find::Object::Rule::Procedural - File::Find::Object::Rule's procedural interface
SYNOPSIS
use File::Find::Object::Rule;
# find all .pm files, procedurally
my @files = find(file => name => '*.pm', in => @INC);
DESCRIPTION
In addition to the regular object-oriented interface, File::Find::Object::Rule provides two subroutines for you to use.
"find( @clauses )"
"rule( @clauses )"
"find" and "rule" can be used to invoke any methods available to the OO version. "rule" is a synonym for "find"
Passing more than one value to a clause is done with an anonymous array:
my $finder = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ] );
"find" and "rule" both return a File::Find::Object::Rule instance, unless one of the arguments is "in", in which case it returns a list of
things that match the rule.
my @files = find( name => [ '*.mp3', '*.ogg' ], in => $ENV{HOME} );
Please note that "in" will be the last clause evaluated, and so this code will search for mp3s regardless of size.
my @files = find( name => '*.mp3', in => $ENV{HOME}, size => '<2k' );
^
|
Clause processing stopped here ------/
It is also possible to invert a single rule by prefixing it with "!" like so:
# large files that aren't videos
my @files = find( file =>
'!name' => [ '*.avi', '*.mov' ],
size => '>20M',
in => $ENV{HOME} );
