On the subject of mmfind,
I would like to find files which have the misc attributes relevant to AFM.
For instance files which have the attribute 'v' The file is newly created, not 
yet copied to home
I can write a policy to do this, and I have a relevant policy written.

However I would like to do this using mmfind, which seems a nice general 
utility.
This syntax does not work:

mmfind /hpc -eaWithValue MISC_ATTRIBUTES===v

Before anyone says it, I am mixing up MISC_ATTRIBUTES and extended attributes!
My question really is - has anyone done this sort of serch using mmfind?

Thankyou

As always when dealing with computers and potentially long running jobs, run a 
test on a handful of files first, so you can rapidly debug.
Did you read the mmfind.README ?

It mentions...that this sample utility "some user assembly required..."  ...

mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.c
  A utility to parse the "list file" produced by mmapplypolicy and to print
    it in a find-compatible format
  mmfind invokes it once mmapplypolicy begins to populate the "list file"

mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.sampleMakefile
  copy to 'makefile', modify as needed, and run 'make' to compile 
mmfindUtil_processOutputFile.c
  This should produce a binary called mmfindUtil_processOutputFile
  mmfind will not be able to run until this utility has been compiled
  on the node from which you launch mmfind.

Works for me...
