There are many possible ways to interpret your request, butI believe that find will do what you need. For instance, to find the files that have been modified in the past twenty-four hours:
Code:
find /usr/abc/def -type f -mtime 0 -print

If the logfiles end in "log" or somesuch, you can further restrict the list of returned files with:
Code:
find /usr/abc/def -type f -name '*log' -mtime 0 -print

Please review the manual page for find, as there are some variations between the operating systems.

To expect a faster reply, it would be wise to show you are willing to solve your problem and not just rely on others to do the job for you...
What have you done so far?
What can't you do?
Forget a simple command to answer you request...IMHO a command of the sort does not exist in standard...
There are many logs, some may exist or not depending of the system configuration...
So be more precise in your demand and show what you have done so far

Hi vbe/Moderator


Thanks For the Response



First of all ,am not demanding faster response for my question.

After waiting for almost 24 hours, again requested response to my query.

I do fully agree with your thoughts and forum etiquette's.

and am not totally relying on the answers from the peers, also please note that, am an application guy not OS.

So am only anticipating responses from OS experts or peers, not demanding.


To be precise on my requirement

am looking for a command syntax,

To Find

1)location of the files (say *.log) , which are being currently updated in the system

say 5minutes earlier


Thanks and Regards

Sidhartmellam,

Have you taken the time to look at the find manual pages? The -mtime option allows you to specify the number of days, for instance -mtime -5 will find files modified in the past five days. Finding files that have been modified an arbitrary time in the past is also easy with find, using the -newer option, it is just a bit more difficult to create a file with a modification time that is six hours old. If I were do this as a one shot, I'd:
Code:
$ MARK=$(mktemp)
$ ls -l $MARK
-rw-------. 1 ludwig staff 0 Nov 29 08:09 /tmp/tmp.KTAVlOVIKr

Now set the modification time to six hours ago:
Code:
$ touch --date='2011-11-29 02:09:00' $MARK
$ ls -l $MARK
-rw-------. 1 ludwig staff 0 Nov 29 02:09 /tmp/tmp.KTAVlOVIKr

And now find the files:
Code:
$ find /usr/abc/def -type f -name '*log' -newer $MARK -print

There are many ways to script this. A semi-portable method would be to:
Code:
#! /bin/ksh

MARK=$(mktemp)
trap "rm -f ${MARK}" EXIT

case "$(date +%Z)" in
    EST)     tz=GMT+11 ;;
    CST|EDT) tz=GMT+12 ;;
    MST|CDT) tz=GMT+13 ;;
    PST|MDT) tz=GMT+14 ;;
    PDT)     tz=GMT+15 ;;
esac

touch --date="$(TZ=$tz date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')" $MARK
find /usr/abc/def -type f -name '*log' -newer $MARK -print

This works in the continental United-States, YMMV.
