find command

[Gemini_2]

I would like to run a find command that display 2005 logs directory.

I tried "find . -type d -mtime -30", but it display the logs from "today" to 30 days ago....

how do I display the log that is older than 30 days..

thank you

Shalom,

Try type f.

Any time a directory has any file updated in it, it may get its time and date stamp updated.

Very simple, just change -30 to +30, the argument is like this:

-30 From now to 30 days ago
+30 Since 30 days or more
30 Exaclty 30 days

yes, I used "30" and that doesnt work...+ is perfect..thank you

Older than 30 days,

You have to use +30 so that it will search 31 or older days. -30 means it will search before 30 days.

So use as,

# find . -type d -mtime +30

will give that. To remove those directory then,

# find . -type d -mtime +30 -exec rm -irf {} \;

will do.
