find cmd to search for files older than 90 days

Hello All,

I need to figure out a way locate all files
under /auditlog/usrlog that are over 90 days old ? I tried the "find" cmd, but it shows current files also. The "file" cmd indicates these are "data" files.

*******************************************
root[/auditlog/usrlog]
# find /auditlog/usrlog -type f -mtime +90 -exec ll \; | more

Use print instead of exec ll.

find . -type f -mtime +90 -print

touch -ct "file_with_90day_back_time"

find /dir -type f !-newer "file_with_90day_back_time" -exec ll -d {} \;

I think it might be your syntax. Try
find /auditlog/usrlog -type f -mtime +90 -exec ll {} \;

Can do it with both print and exec.

find /auditlog/usrlog -type f -mtime +90 -print -exec ll {} \;

Hi Jerry,

Besides what Rick points out you also need an operator and an expression - like:

find . \( -type f -a -mtime +90 \) -print

Note that the parens need to be escaped & the -a is an and operator.

HTH,

Here is a user friendly script.

then
echo "Error: directory $DIRNAME does not exist"
exit 1
fi

echo
echo "How large a file do you want to look for ? (in Kbytes)"
read SIZE

echo
echo "How many days since the file was created ?"
read DAYS

echo "Searching..."

find $DIRNAME -type f -size +$SIZE -mtime -$DAYS -exec ls -ls {} \; | sort -n -r | tee find.out
