Problem with find ! -newer
Hi,
I would like to find if a file called test.log is older than 10 min.
So i wrote :
#!/usr/bin/ksh
FICLOG="/home/uuu/result_test.log"
FIC="/home/uuu/test.log"
touch -t `perl -e 'use POSIX qw(strftime); printf("%s\n",strftime("%m%d%H%M",localtime(time-3600*0.17)));'` /tmp/ref_time.check.$$
if find $FIC -type f ! -newer /tmp/ref_time.check.$$ >> /dev/null 2>&1
then
DATE=`date "+%y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S"`
echo "$DATE :Problem_on_test.log" >> $FICLOG
fi
The problem is that it finds the test.log file even if it isn't older than 10 mn.
Thanks

Hi,
I have the following question :
As far as I know unix doesn't store file creation dates.
Would that imply the following?
tar -cvzf backup.tar --newer
is equal to:
tar -cvzf backup.tar --newer-mtime ? (1 Reply)

db_checkpoint
db_checkpoint(8) System Manager's Manual db_checkpoint(8)
NAME
db_checkpoint - Periodically checkpoint the security database log (Enhanced Security)
SYNOPSIS
/usr/tcb/bin/db_checkpoint [-1v] [-h home]
[-k bytes] [-L file] [-p min]
FLAGS
Checkpoint the log once, and then exit. Specify a home directory for the database. The correct directory for enhanced security is
/var/tcb/files. Checkpoint the database at least as often as every kbytes of log file written. Log the execution of the db_checkpoint
utility to the specified file in the following format, where ### is the process ID, and the date is the time the utility starting running.
db_checkpoint: ### Wed Jun 15 01:23:45 EDT 1995
This file is removed if the db_checkpoint utility exits gracefully. Checkpoint the database at least every min minutes. Write the time of
each checkpoint to the standard output.
At least one of the -1, -k and -p options must be specified.
DESCRIPTION
A customized version of the Berkeley Database (Berkeley DB) is embedded in the operating system to provide high-performance database sup-
port for critical security files. The DB includes full transactional support and database recovery, using write-ahead logging and check-
pointing to record changes.
The db_checkpoint utility is a daemon process that monitors the database log and periodically checkpoints it. Since other database func-
tions also cause checkpoint records to be written to the log, db_checkpoint is normally used as a one-time function to guarantee a check-
point before archiving the database.
The db_checkpoint utility utility attaches to one or more of the Berkeley DB shared memory regions. In order to avoid region corruption,
it should always be given the chance to detach and exit gracefully. To cause db_checkpoint to clean up after itself and exit, send it an
interrupt signal (SIGINT).
The db_checkpoint utility does not attempt to create the Berkeley DB shared memory regions if they do not already exist. The application
which creates the region should be started first, and then, once the region is created, the db_checkpoint utility should be started.
RETURN VALUES
The db_checkpoint utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
If the -h option is not specified and the environment variable DB_HOME is set, it is used as the path of the database home. The home
directory for security is /var/tcb/files.
FILES
/var/tcb/files/auth.db
/var/tcb/files/dblogs/*
