Hi All,
Anyone know an easy way of finding files in a directory that have been
created within 24 hours but are not being written to.
The only way I can think of doing this is as follows
eg (Not sure of my syntax yet as this is just theoretical)
crond to run at 00:01
find /myth/recordings/ -maxdepth 1 -name '*' -mtime -1|grep
".mpg"|grep -v ".png" > file1
find /myth/recordings/ -maxdepth 1 -name '*' -atime -5|grep
".mpg"|grep -v ".png" > file2
then somehow remove files2 from files1 list and do a for i in `cat file1`;do etc
There must be a better way of doing this?
