Hello,
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?
Unless it means _exactly_ 2 or 3 days, in which case, it's not a great
feature since i have to check if directories have been accessed in 60 days!
Any suggestions or comments?
TIA

looks sane, although I think atime is only set on files. Also, some people
turn off atime writing for a speed gain.

there are log analyzers out there. They give all kinds of great stats.
look
on freshmeat.net

each file on the hard drive has data stored with it about its size,
permisions,
time created, etc. This is the same data ls prints. To see what find is
doing, read the man page for stat.
