Find command not working on AIX
Hello,

I am running find command in an AIX Server to find last 7 days modified directories/files.

Code:
[root@hostname] >cd /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class
[root@hostname] >ls -l
total 0
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     system          256 May 28 2014  Catalog-Backup

The below command is not returning results in AIX Server although in Linux server it is working fine.

Code:
[root@nlnbumst01] >find /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class -type d -mtime 0 -mtime -7
[root@nlnbumst01] >

Could someone please help.

Thanks
Rahul

Hello rahul2662,

Could you please try following and let us know if this helps, as I haven't tested it as don't have AIX box with me.
Code:
 find -type d -mtime -7 -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null

Above will give the directories details whichever are modified from last 7 days, if you need only names you could try following then.
Code:
 find -type d -mtime -7 2>/dev/null

Thanks,
R. Singh

@Ravinder, only GNU find defaults to . as the start directory! Unix find gives error if no start directory is given - here unfortunately suppressed with 2>/dev/null
The following lists files and directories with mtime less than 7 days:
Code:
find /usr/openv/netbackup/db/class -mtime -7 -ls

These 2 Users Gave Thanks to MadeInGermany For This Post:
