find --mmin

[Maicon Stihler]

Hi,

does someone knows how can I reproduce gnu's find "--mmin" option using hp-ux's find?

[Gordon Morrison]

What does --mmin do?

[Pete Randall]

I'm not familiar with it - what does it do?

Hi,

Install findutils

http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/findutils-4.1.5/

Or try something like this.

# touch -m xxx /tmp/ref
# find / -newer /tmp/ref

Regards,
Robert-Jan

You "touch" (man touch) a bogus file name with a time stamp then use -mtime to search, or you simply install gnu's find!

touch -t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS] somefile

find . -newermm somefile -exec ls -l {} \;

sadly, findutils is not an option :/
boss says "no, use only hp-ux tools, no other packages"
it would be so easy if they let me install other packages.
