Yes. However, there's still a caveat: GNU find has a non-intuitive way of defining what times qualify as being "N days ago". Even with + or -, it may not return what you expect. "info find" has all the details (though I've never really understood the details, myself!). _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
