Script to find out modified date for particular file

[rajanalluri]

Hi,

I am new to Scripting. I am trying to find out particular file is modified in last one hour or not in script and then if that file is modified in last one hour i need to copy that file to another directory.

Can any one please provide me how to check the file is modified in one hour or not?

Thanks in Advance,
Raja.

You need to use the find command. This tests files within a directory tree that match particular criteria and prints the names of matching files. The -mmin -60 test should find files modified within the last hour. Pipe the result into the xargs command to process matching files.

Find is a rather complex command so you will have to study its man page before proceeding.
