using "find". to find *files* "f" (in contrast with "d") older than 30 days that are called backup*.luks, it would be find /path -type f -iname backup\*.luks -mtime +30 -print the word "-print" displays them. Rem1: The first "*" must be backslashed in the find command, you don't want bash to expand it! Rem2: careful with auto-delete (don't complain :) you replace -print by -delete -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
