Dear Friends,
I have two queries.
1) I want to see the list of folders which were created 29 days ago.
2) I want to see the folders in which last created file is older than 29 days.
Can it be done?

Thank you in advance

Hi.

There's no way to know when something was created. Only when it was last modified.

find . -mtime 29 -type d

Shows directories exactly 29 days old

man find

You can use +29 or -29 to show directories older or newer than 29 days.

If it's just the folders names you want, and not the files themselves, this works for me:

find . -type f -mtime +29 | xargs -I{} dirname {} | sort | uniq -u
