UNIX for Advanced & Expert Users

Hi friends,

Thanks for your reponses .But let me put forth my clearly what i am trying to do.
I need to check a directory for some .sql files from the script.
From this shell script i am executing all the .sqls.
But if there are any .sqls older than 15 minutes then a flag should be raised.
If there are any .sqls less than 15 minutes old then they have to be processed as usual.

Please help.
Thanks in advance

is this a standard compliant?, Perberado, correct me if not.

(this shows only files which have not been modified in the last 15 minutes, you can use -15m insted of the '+' to see what files have been changed in the last 15m)

$ find . -mtime +15m -print

I learned something new today. Thanks

EDIT: It does not seem to work using the standard Solaris 9 find:

Code:

/tmp/a > ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r--   1 chuck   sysadmin       0 Aug 10 18:23 file
-rw-r--r--   1 chuck   sysadmin       0 Aug  8 17:11 fileb
/tmp/a > find . -mtime +15m
/tmp/a > find . -mtime -15m
.
./fileb
./file

Hi Friends,

Thanks a lot to all of you for your suggestions. i used them on Solaris system and they are working .But the same switches are not working on a
HP-UX system.
Is there any option that i have to use on a HP-UX System ?

I need to raise a flag if there are any files older than 15 minutes in a directory.

Please help.
Thanks in advance

Hi Friends,

I couldnt get any option on HP-UX for finding files older than 15 minutes.
but the solutions that i got from you friends worked on Solaris and Linux.
So i am using a c executable file for getting the age of a file and then raising a flag if it is older than 15 minutes.

Thanks for all your help
Bye
