Find command in linux

[rhcekalyan]

Hi all,

Using following command I can able to find the directory which was accessed on 8days back exactly

# find /dir1 -type d -atime 8

But I want to know the directory which was NOT accessed for 8days.

Thanks in advance

Read the find manual page.

TESTS
Numeric arguments can be specified as

+n
for greater than n,
-n
for less than n,
n
for exactly n.

One thing to add:
It is not seldom, that the atime is turned off at mount time.
This is for performance reasons, as with atime every read also triggers a write.
Apart from some pop3/imap daemons, this is fairly safe (afaik), but ymmv.

You can check in /etc/fstab how your system is setup.

stat /dir1 should give you access and modify information

==================================

find /dir1 -type d ! -atime 8 -exec ls -l {} \;

The exec lists the date and validates the file.
