Oh, maybe that's new? I'm not sure. Anyway, yeah, -delete is a GNUism.
POSIX find doesn't have it at all.

Got it, thanks.
Will that fail to delete higher directories, because the deletion of files
updated the mtime?
Or does it get all

It doesn't delete
Hi all,
When using:
find $dir -mtime +7 -delete
Will that fail to delete higher directories, because the deletion of
files updated the mtime?
Or does it get all the mtimes first, and use those?
And how precise are those times? If I'm running a cron job that deletes
7-day-old directories
Hi,
can somebody help me with this one?
% find `pwd` \( -name *.log -o -name *.aux \)
/home/shao/report/main.log
/home/shao/report/main.aux
/home/shao/report/title.aux
/home/shao/report/abstract.aux
% find `pwd` \( -name *.log -o -name *.aux \) -exec 'rm {}' ';'
find: rm
% find `pwd` \( -name *.log -o -name *.aux \) -exec 'rm {}' ';'
find: rm /home/shao/report/main.log: No such file or directory
It tries to execute command rm[space]/home/shao/report/main.log. Of course
there is no such command. You should execute 'rm' with filename as a parameter;
so write
rm

The find's atime option seems a bit sketchy.
I've tried find dir -atime 3 -print and nothing prints out.
but when i do :
find dir -atime 2 -print
it prints stuff out.
If it's been accessed in 2 days, it's been accessed in 3 days right?

Hello,
I've been looking through the find web page and I'm still not sure if I'm
correct.
Say I'm running a web server on a.com.
After telnetting into the box, i want to know how often certain parts have
been accessed.
say the directory structure is:
../
index.html
dir1/
dir2/
and a bunch
dir1 and dir2 are web sites themselves.
I want to know if anyone has accessed dir1 within the last 60 days. I've
been using find like this:
$ find dir1 -atime 60 -print
Is this the correct command?
looks sane, although I think atime is only set on files. Also, some people
turn off
