Issue with find command using links
Hi,
Having a simple issue with find command on Sun. The command works fine if the variable is set to the actual filesystem but fails when the variable is set to a link which is pointing to the same filesystem.


export DUMPDEST=/oradata1/exports/pbm - Set the variable

oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/home/oracle> find ${DUMPDEST} -name "${ORACLE_SID}*FULL*" -mtime +2 -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 398239993 Aug 15 01:24 /oradata1/exports/pbm/PBM_15Aug05_FULL_3.dmp.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 367997548 Aug 15 01:09 /oradata1/exports/pbm/PBM_15Aug05_FULL_1.dmp.Z
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba 306083283 Aug 15 01:17 /oradata1/exports/pbm/PBM_15Aug05_FULL_2.dmp.Z

export DUMPDEST=/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM/exports - Set the path with the value as link.

oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> find ${DUMPDEST} -name "${ORACLE_SID}*FULL*" -mtime +2 -exec ls -l {} \;
oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM>

oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> pwd
/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM
oracle@gbo6020d:[PBM]:/u01/app/oracle/admin/PBM> ls -l
total 176
lrwxrwxrwx 1 oracle dba 21 Dec 13 2004 exports -> /oradata1/exports/pbm

It sounds like a small problem or is it a bug ?
Any help will be appreciated.

pbmtopsg3(29 June 2001)                                                                                                    pbmtopsg3(29 June 2001)

NAME

       pbmtopsg3 - convert PBM images to Postscript with G3 fax compression

SYNOPSIS

       pbmtopsg3 [--title=title] [--dpi=dpi] [filespec]

DESCRIPTION

       Converts the PBM images in the input PBM file to pages in a Postscript file encoded with G3 fax compression.

       If you don't specify filespec, the input is from Standard Input.

       Remember that you can create a multi-image PBM file simply by concatenating single-image PBM files, so if each page is in a different file,
       you might do:

       cat faxpage* | pbmtopsg3 >fax.ps

OPTIONS

       -title The Postscript title value.  Default is no title.

       -dpi   The resolution of the Postscript output.  Default is 72 dpi.
