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
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)

NAME
fileutil - Procedures implementing some file utilities
SYNOPSIS
package require Tcl 8
package require fileutil ?1.4?
::fileutil::cat filename
::fileutil::fileType filename
::fileutil::find ?basedir ?filtercmd??
::fileutil::findByPattern basedir ?-regexp|-glob? ?--? patterns
::fileutil::foreachLine var filename cmd
::fileutil::grep pattern ?files?
::fileutil::stripN path n
::fileutil::stripPwd path
::fileutil::touch ?-a? ?-c? ?-m? ?-r ref_file? ?-t time? filename ?...?
DESCRIPTION
This package provides implementations of standard unix utilities.
::fileutil::cat filename
A tcl implementation of the UNIX cat command. Returns the contents of the specified file. The first argument is the name of the
file to read.
::fileutil::fileType filename
An implementation of the UNIX file command, which uses various heuristics to guess the type of a file. Returns a list specifying as
much type information as can be determined about the file, from most general (eg, "binary" or "text") to most specific (eg, "gif").
For example, the return value for a GIF file would be "binary graphic gif". The command will detect the following types of files:
directory, empty, binary, text, script (with interpreter), executable elf, graphic gif, graphic jpeg, html, xml (with doctype if
available), message pgp, and link.
::fileutil::find ?basedir ?filtercmd??
An implementation of the unix command find. Adapted from the Tcler's Wiki. Takes at most two arguments, the path to the directory to
start searching from and a command to use to evaluate interest in each file. The path defaults to ".", i.e. the current directory.
The command defaults to the empty string, which means that all files are of interest. The command takes care not to loose itself in
infinite loops upon encountering circular link structures. The result of the command is a list containing the paths to the inter-
esting files.
::fileutil::findByPattern basedir ?-regexp|-glob? ?--? patterns
This command is based upon the TclX command recursive_glob, except that it doesn't allow recursion over more than one directory at a
time. It uses ::fileutil::find internally and is thus able to and does follow symbolic links, something the TclX command does not
do. First argument is the directory to start the search in, second argument is a list of patterns. The command returns a list of all
files reachable through basedir whose names match at least one of the patterns. The options before the pattern-list determine the
style of matching, either regexp or glob. glob-style matching is the default if no options are given. Usage of the option -- stops
option processing. This allows the use of a leading '-' in the patterns.
::fileutil::foreachLine var filename cmd
The command reads the file filename and executes the script cmd for every line in the file. During the execution of the script the
variable var is set to the contents of the current line. The return value of this command is the result of the last invocation of
the script cmd or the empty string if the file was empty.
::fileutil::grep pattern ?files?
Implementation of grep. Adapted from the Tcler's Wiki. The first argument defines the pattern to search for. This is followed by a
list of files to search through. The list is optional and stdin will be used if it is missing. The result of the procedures is a
list containing the matches. Each match is a single element of the list and contains filename, number and contents of the matching
line, separated by a colons.
::fileutil::stripN path n
Removes the first n elements from the specified path and returns the modified path. If n is greater than the number of components in
path an empty string is returned.
::fileutil::stripPwd path
If the path is inside of the directory returned by [pwd] it is made relative to that directory. In other words, the current working
directory is stripped from the path. The possibly modified path is returned as the result of the command.
::fileutil::touch ?-a? ?-c? ?-m? ?-r ref_file? ?-t time? filename ?...?
Implementation of touch. Alter the atime and mtime of the specified files. If -c, do not create files if they do not already exist.
If -r, use the atime and mtime from ref_file. If -t, use the integer clock value time. It is illegal to specify both -r and -t. If
-a, only change the atime. If -m, only change the mtime.
