Not particularly and OI question but that is where I need this technique to work. I'm hoping some of you old shell hands will see the problem.
I hope not to be exibiting true ignorance... but here I go. I keep messing with one forumlation of find cnmd that seems like it aught to work... What am I doing wrong or not understanding? I'm trying to use finds' -c newer technique Check on just two of many files with following dates. Two of quite a few files in this location: -rwxr-xr-x 1 harry nfsu 1768 2014-07-22 20:18 scripts/perl/getad -rwxr-xr-x 1 harry nfsu 6429 2014-07-22 20:18 scripts/perl/rnami.pl To my eye, those dates fall within the targetting files Now create our targeting files with target date inbetween touch NewerThan -t 201406141130 touch ButNotNewerThan -t 201408141130 Now check my targeting files: ls -l NewerThan ButNotNewerThan -rw-r--r-- 1 harry nfsu 0 2014-08-14 11:30 ButNotNewerThan -rw-r--r-- 1 harry nfsu 0 2014-06-14 11:30 NewerThan Ok, now try it up find scripts/perl/ -cnewer NewerThan -and ! -cnewer ButNotNewerThan (Nada) Where is the flaw? _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
