Hi, I need to find out list of files which are older than specific date. I am using 'find, and newer' commands but its not giving the correct result.

Can you please help to findout the list of files.

Hi Satyak,

You should be able to use the find with the mtime or the ctime switches;

Example;

find . -type f -mtime +30 -print

This will find all files older than 30 days recursively from your working directory if you have permissions to read them.

Regards

Dave

Please post sample input directory listings and sample ideal output directory listings and the command you typed complete with what actually happened (including any error messages verbatim).
