Actually no, it was not in the name page - not that I could see. And I did read it.
The best it did was:
-mtime n
File's data was last modified n*24 hours ago.
No mention of + or - there.
OTH, I did discover by reading the man page that there is an info page "info Finding
Files" - and that proved quite useful. As I said in my Re: I did figure out, thanks to
the info page, no thanks to the man page.
The following did the trick:
find /logs/ -type f -mtime +30 -name "*log.gz" -exec cp -p {} . \;
