How are you going to archive the files? If you can simply pass a list of file names, you could redirect the output of the 'find' command. If you do 'man find' it will show you how you can specify a selection criteria. You'll want something like: find $mydir -ctime 183 |myarchiveprog This will list all files inside the directory $mydir where the date last changed is >=183 days (six months) ago, and pass the list to myarchiveprog. > > > > --------------------------------- > Yahoo!
