Did you look at the referenced manual page, and the specification that it cites? at(1) (and by extension this feature) takes absolute timepoints as argument, constructed from relative phrasing. Both "now-7days" and "week ago" describe absolute points in time. See https://github.com/lavv17/lftp/issues/21 for a discussion mirroring your question, http://linux.die.net/man/1/at for the manpage. Note that the at(1) spec mostly cares about future timepoints and thus doesn't mention the "ago" flavor. Your argument should probably be along the lines of "24 hours ago" or "day ago". > Also can you tell me if there are other time parameters that can be used as > well as the "grammar" that should be used when putting this together? > > Thanks > > Steven > _______________________________________________ > lftp mailing list > lftp@uniyar.ac.ru > http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp -- Lars Viklund | z...@acc.umu.se _______________________________________________ lftp mailing list lftp@uniyar.ac.ru http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp
