It may be that this boolean version will produce the desired range. The specification is still ambiguous but I think that we are homing in on the solution!
The problem with the original "find" parameters is that the second "-mtime" takes precedent over the first "-mtime".

Code:
find . -name "*.bin" -type f \( -mtime +$file_arch_st_time -a -mtime -$file_arch_end_time \)

Code:
gtar cvzf SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d`.tar SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d`

I guess you need to do this. This will move content of SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d` into SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d`.tar

You either use something like:
Code:
find . -print | cpio -ov | compress > backupfile

or you use:
Code:
tar cvzf backupfile file1 file2 file3 ...

so you would have something like:
Code:
find . -print > tempfile
tar cvzf backupfile.tgz `cat tempfile`
or
tar cvzf backupfile.tgz --file=tempfile

You can't mix the methods up.

You need to test these individual lines of your script one at a time.

@Kevin,

Great thanks. It now creates the file. I used the command like this.

Code:
find . -name "*.bin" -type f -mtime +7 -mtime -60 | cpio -ov | compress -v > SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d`.Z

It creates a file called SessLogs20101220.Z.

I uncompress this file using the command

Code:
uncompress -f SessLogs20101220.Z

it uncompresses the file and creates an uncompressed file
[CODE]SessLogs20101220[CODE]

Now how to extract contents from the uncompressed file?

Thanks Kevin.

I used the following command as you suggested.

Code:
find . -name "*.bin" -type f -mtime +7 -mtime -60 | cpio -ov | compress -v > SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d`.Z

Now it creates a file called

Code:
SessLogs20101220.Z

I uncompress the above file using

Code:
uncompress -f SessLogs20101220.Z

It creates a uncompressed file
Code:
SessLogs20101220

Now how to extract the contents from an uncompressed file?

Thanks much

Note I still think you need to use -print with cpio.

You would be better not to uncompress your file in case you hit the 2GB file size limit.

To list what is in the file use:
Code:
zcat SessLogs20101220.Z | cpio -itv

To extract it I would use something like:
Code:
zcat SessLogs20101220.Z | cpio -iduv

Please check the man page for cpio to see what the best options for you are.

If zcat isn't on your system try gzcat.

You cannot have two "-mtime" parameters on the same "find" command line without using brackets. It will not give you a syntax error but it will not work.

Code:
find . -name "*.bin" -type f \( -mtime +$file_arch_st_time -a -mtime -$file_arch_end_time \)


Methyl -- Can you pl explain the above statement in detail?


Also I have changed the find command per your suggestions.

Code:
find . -name "*.bin" -type f \( -mtime +$file_arch_st_time -a -mtime -$file_arch_end_time \) | cpio -ov | compress -v > SessLogs`date +%Y%m%d`.Z

But it gives the following error:

Code:
w_test.bin not archived: uid greater than 65535.
1 blocks

It creates the compressed file with 0 bytes

Sam
