finding dated files

Hi all,

Can anyone enlighten me on the command used to find files that have been created on a specified date or later? for example, I need to find files that have been created later than the 20th feb so I can copy these out before running frecover.

thanking you kindly,

John

Hi John,

Use find with -newer.

Touch a reference file:
touch 02200000 /tmp/ref

/tmp/ref will be date/time stamped Feb 20 00:00

find /dir -newer /tmp/ref
