Solaris

Tried find . -name *.log -mtime +90 -exec ls {}\;

Getting bad option xxxx.log file

$ find . -name *.log -mtime +90 -exec ls {}\;
find: bad option xxxx.log
find: path-list predicate-list

oh my...! pls find your way around the syntax. u ed not post every single issue.
try this.
find <use_path> -name *.log -mtime +90 -exec ls

this really should work. if not then I am not sure what to tell you.

find . -name "*.log" -mtime +90 -exec ls {} \;

i guess it is possible that there are so many files that the exec has problems. maybe try this:

find . -name "*.log" -mtime +90 -print

and see if that gets it.

btw, i always have to use quotes in my find statements when I use a wildcard. your mileage may vary.

Pls make sure that you are using a space between {} and \;

Since you are dealing with special characters again - basically trying to look for all *.log.* files, you need to either use a \ or surround *.log.* with double quotes.....like this:

find . -name "*.log.*" -mtime +90 -exec ls {} \;

OR

find . -name \*.log.\* -mtime +90 -exec ls {} \;

(Make sure you are in the right directory by using pwd command).

Please get back and let us know if that worked....Cheers!

Tried both no result


$ find . -name \*.log.\* -mtime +90 -exec ls {} \;
$
$ find . -name "*.log.*" -mtime +90 -exec ls {} \;
$

sori cvdev I forgot to include the space as mentioned by hercu. am busy and was rushing with some stuff.. are u in the correct dir? use the wild card either before or aft the word .log and see.. use hercu's syntax.

Thanks every one its working.
