archive bit

Hi

Is there a way to generate a text file with a list of all filenames on the server whose archive bit is turned on? The OS is HPUX 11.x

Thanks

Re: archive bit

Roger,

The find command is excellent for searching the server's file systems and might be of some help to you (try a man on find). However, I'm unfamiliar with the "archive bit" so I can't be more specific. Can you explain further?

Re: archive bit

Yes, it's quite simple:

cp /dev/null archivebit.txt

You see, the answer is zero because there ain't no archive bit.
If it ain't broke, I can fix that.
