Minor, but important correction: find $mydir -ctime 183 <---- finds files changed 183 days ago, no more, no less find $mydir -ctime +183 <---- finds files changed more than 183 days ago find $mydir -ctime -183 <---- finds files changed less than 183 days ago This is a nice article for newbiws on the find command: http://www.linux-mag.com/2001-04/newbies_01.html -- Saul Arias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
