Hi,
I know I can use touch and find's "! -newer" option to list files that are older than a specific time, but what is a good way to get a list of files that are over 12 hours old?
The log pruner will run throughout the day, twice an hour. So I can't easily use a cronjob touch command to generate a file 12 hours old to compare against.
Use perl to subtract 12 hours (43200 seconds) ....
#!/usr/bin/ksh
STAMP=$(perl -e '($ss, $mm, $hh, $DD, $MM, $YY) = localtime(time() - 43200);
printf "%04d%02d%02d%02d%02d", $YY + 1900, $MM + 1, $DD, $hh, $mm')
touch $STAMP file1
find . -type f ! -newer file1 -print
