to find all files created a day back
Hi Guys,

My unix is SunOS. I like to find all the files which are created 1 day back.
i tried the following command
Code:
find . -type f -name '*.aud' -mtime +1

This gives me all the files created 48 hours back (2 days) but not one..
Can you let me know where i am going wrong.

Thanks,
Magesh

Code:
find . -type f -name '*.aud' -mtime -1

(Gives you all files modified in the last 24 hours)

If this doesn't match your requirement, please give examples relative to a given date and time.

man find
Code:
-atime n
              File was last accessed n*24 hours ago.  When find figures out how many 24-hour periods ago the file was last accessed,  any
              fractional part is ignored, so to match -atime +1, a file has to have been accessed at least two days ago.

Even though you specify +1, it is atleast two days as per the man page.
So if "-1" fits your requirement, use that.,

I get one Oracle audit log every time a priviliged user connects to the database (for example for startup and shutdown). Because my database is stop/started daily for backup these logs accumulate rapidly and I normally only keep a week's worth. Similarly for Oracle alert logs, Oracle listener logs adn Oracle trace logs.
Your situation may be different.

What are you trying to do?
