Check find(1) Unfortunately if you try to specify a specific age this is not in Unix time but in 24h intervals relative to when find was started. The -newer option on the other hand allows you to find all files created/accessed/modified since the times of a given file. The idea is that if you do incremental backups, you stamp a file in the backup dir and use that as reference to find which files have been modified since last backup.

You can try stat() to pick up the creation/ last modified date. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
