Hi,
I am using HP-UX B.11.23 U ia64
I am trying to retrieve files using -mtime option of find command
However I found that -mtime is not giving correct results
Following is the output of commands executed on 03-Dec-2009
It can be seen that -mtime +1 should have returned all files from "Dec 2" backwards
However it is listing files from "Nov 26" backwards
Similarly -mtime +1 should have returned all files from "Nov 26" backwards
instead the command is listing files "Nov 24" backwards
What could be the reason?
Does -mtime starts with last day of last month backwards in HP-UX?
Thanks and Regards,
Chetana
