Files older than 50 days
Hi All,

OS :- HP-UX wm5qa B.11.23 U ia64 1119805695 unlimited-user license

I need to search files older than 50 days. I've used following command in order to search desired files, I also discoverd, it's showing today's files as well. Do you have any clue with this ?

Code:
wmqa1> find . -ctime -50 | ls -ltr
total 153667144
