list all files created since 3 months ago
hello,

thank you for you'r answering.

I try find -newer, but it didn't do what Iwant.

My goal is ths list all files that were created since 3 months or more from the current date

ex. if the date is 01-12-2003 , then I want to list all files created before 01-09-2003.



Thank's

You can use ! -newer to find out the files which are older than the file.

you can find some way for the date. I could not think of any at the moment

Cheers

Hello,

ok I can create a file and make its date to 3 momths ago and after and I use find -newer file, but my goal is the list the older files than this file not the recent files.

find dir \! -newer run.sh

Here run.sh is the 3months old file
dir is the desired directory in which you want to search you can give / if you want to search from the root
