UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hey all,

When you run the 'ls -la' command it'll show you the time and dates of all files/directories. Now what I am trying to do is create a script that will tell me what files haven't been used in over the past 1 month and what the time and date is that the files that haven't been accessed in over a month are.

I'm running Solaris 7. All I really need to know is what is the command? I've tried '-atime' but that wont work. I don't know if that works on Solaris or not. So if anyone can help me out with this command thanks a heap!

This is an expamle of what I'm trying to do but it wont work.

find /home /export -type f -atime +30 -size +500

The '-atime' wont work though.

P.S No it's not the 'date' command I am after.

Hi,

It seems there is no problem with ur find command.

Hope ur not disturbed with the file's date flag. This don't have any connection with the -atime condition.

And the man page says "The access time of directories in path is changed by find itself"

So think over again....

'atime' corresponds to access time and not the time you see when you do 'ls -la'.

The time you see is 'mtime'..try using 'mtime' rather than 'atime'.
