syntax for using find command

[Mark Harshman_1]

hello
i am trying to use the find command to list all files in a large directory that are older then 90 days, and then dump the list to a file. I seem to not be able to get the syntax correct. Help would be appreciated. HPUX11.i. thanks

# cd /dir
# find . -type f -mtime +90 -print > list_of_old_files

Hi,

# find /directory -type f -mtime +90 -exec ll \; >> /tmp/directory.log

Regards,
Robert-Jan

[john korterman]

find -type f -mtime +90 > /tmp/yt 2>&1

will make the list to /tmp/yt

regards,
John K.

cd /target_dir
find . -type f -mtime +90 > old_file_listing
or
find /target_dir -type f -mtime +90 > old_file_listing

thanks..im sure these will work..

[Mark Harshman_1]

ok, these work..but none give me the long list of files to the log file. Any other ideas?

I would have expected Robert Jan's suggestion to provide a long listing. Have you tried replacing the ll with ls -l?

ahhhhhh stupid me, sorry I made a mistake.

# find /directory -type f -mtime +90 -exec ll {} \; >> /tmp/directory.log

[Patrick Wallek]

# cd /dir
# find . -type f -mtime +90 -exec ls -l {} \; > list_of_old_files

[Henk Geurts]

i suggest you use Robert Jan's suggestion with a minor adjustment:
find /directory -type f -mtime +90 -exec ll {} \; >> /tmp/directory.log
note the {}
regards.
