What operating system are you using?

Have you tried anything yourself?

Find old files
Hi, the below script will search through specified directories and look for specified files. If any file is older than 10 hours a notification email will be sent.



Code:
#!/bin/ksh

OUT=/tmp/outfile.txt

find /dir1 -cmin +600 -name "file1" > $OUT

find /dir2 -cmin +600 -name "file2" >> $OUT

find /dir3 -cmin +600 -name "file3" >> $OUT




if [[ -s $OUT ]] ; then

mail -s "Check why listed files have existed for more than 10 hours " emailaddre
ss.com < $OUT

fi



Regards
Andy
