Thank you Mr. G. Briones. I hope to see you this coming plug seminar. Sana available ka. And thank you also Mr. J. Mallen. I used the first one, using find, coz it's simple, i don't have to write if statement. find will test the file if it is > 10 mins. Question: yung find command ba isa isa nya pinaprocess yung file pag nakita nya? for ex: 3 fiels dapat nya makita, pag nakita nya yung isa, imomove ba kagad nya, based on my script?
