Package: findutils Version: 4.4.0-2 Severity: wishlist Hello,
I looked through the existing wishlist items to see if such a request already had been made, but did not find any. I apologize if this is a duplicate (I'm sure someone at some point had to have asked for this). I think it would make the lives of a lot of users/admins much easier if there were better ways to find files which are older than X days/hours/minutes. To date, I have been using combinations of atime and mtime but these do not always return *all* the files which I know are there and expect to be in the list. Due to this, I have to run find multiple times with new values for atime/mtime to get a full list. It's possible that I'm just not using the right syntax, or that some other flag would work better (I have not found one that works how I really need it to when working with thousands of files in a dir), but it just seems that there should be a better implementation (maybe a -omin/ohour/odays - older than minutes, older than hours, older than days flag) which will find all files older than the limit specified.
