Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to sort find results Post 88630 by groundlevel on Monday 7th of November 2005 12:46:13 PM

I see what you're saying.

Unfortunately, when I then use it for the "/" find, it comes back that the argument list is too long.

I think the best thing is to use

find -x / -ls | sort

to do this, but I'm not sure what options to use with sort to get it sorted by modification time.

All My Best,
Jeffrey
