Check the buffers

[syedar]

I need to check the files in sub sub folders older then 1 day and file prefix start with "*.dat" only, if present then display number of files along with folder name by find command.

Folder structure is:
/A/A1/A11..A20/
/A/A2/A21..A30/

Shalom,

A find command with the +mtime or +ctim parameter should do the trick.

Hi,


# find /A -depth -mtime +1 -name \*.dat

Hi Syedar,

If you want to search in multiple folers and list the number of files with folder name write a small script like this.

Example, want to list number of files along with folder name which is older than 1 day in following folders.
/A/A1/A11, /A/A1/A12, /A/A1/A13, /A/A1/A14, /A/A1/A15 .... /A/A1/A20

cd /A/A1
for i in A11 A12 A13 A14 A15 ... A20
do
echo "$i `find $i -mtime +1 -name "*.dat"|wc-l`"
done

Hi,

the first find looks for directories which contains files older then 1 day (-mtime +1). "sort -u" makes sure, that you get the directory only one time.

the second find will count the files

for dir in `find . -name "*.dat" -type f -mtime +1 -exec dirname {} \;| sort -u`
do
echo "$dir \c";
find $dir -name "*.dat" -type f -mtime +1 | wc -l
done

Thanks for all.
