As an alternative to comparing timestamps to the current time, you can
compare them to another file's timestamp. That file's timestamp could
be updated by another program when some event occurs. Or you could set
it to a particular fixed date using the touch
command. For
example, to list files in `/usr' modified after February 1 of the
current year:
touch -t 02010000 /tmp/stamp$$
find /usr -newer /tmp/stamp$$
rm -f /tmp/stamp$$
- Test: -anewer file
-
- Test: -cnewer file
-
- Test: -newer file
-
True if the file was last accessed (or its status changed, or it was
modified) more recently than file was modified. These tests are
affected by `-follow' only if `-follow' comes before them on
the command line. See section Symbolic Links, for more information on
`-follow'. As an example, to list any files modified since
`/bin/sh' was last modified:
find . -newer /bin/sh
- Test: -used n
-
True if the file was last accessed n days after its status was
last changed. Useful for finding files that are not being used, and
could perhaps be archived or removed to save disk space.
