Quote:
I am trying to remove files from february
This sentence is ambiguous and I can think of at least four different meanings:
1) Delete every file created since from 1 February 2012 to today (inclusive).
2) Delete every file which was created on or before 1 February 2012
3) Delete every file which was created between 1 February 2012 and 29 February 2012 (inclusive).
4) Delete every file which was created in February in any year.
The syntax you post will not work and it will probably be a much more complicated syntax of
find on HP-UX. But let's find out what you want to delete first!
Please carefully describe the range of dates (inclusive) of the files you want to delete. I would suggest that you think in terms of -mtime because -atime is useless for this purpose because accessing the file changes the atime stamp.
