Find files modified in the las n days, or today | useful with folders

I have to find those files which have been modified before one day. There are lots of files which are modified before one day. I am doing find ./ -type f -mtime -1. But, I observed that my disk util went to 100%. It was probably because of the access time modification for each file. Is there any way to find files without modification of the access time ? Please help.

I'm running into 2 problems when working with my logs and the find command.

I am having problems with the mtime option. The 1st command below shows me a few files from March 5th till March 7th, like I believe it should. However, when I add +1 to mtime instead of +0, it only does an ls of the current directory I'm in when running the command. It's just listening my directories under /home/user/.

I can use ls -ld */ to list all the directory entries in the current directory. Is there a similarly easy way to just list all the regular files in the current directory? I know I can use find

find . -maxdepth 1 -type f

or stat

stat -c "%F %n" * | grep "regular file" | cut -d' ' -f 3-

but these do not strike me as being overly elegant.

Chance is that there will be empty files (zero byte files) and empty directories (that doesn’t contain any files) in your system. In this article, I will show you how to locate these empty directories and files and delete them.

The command you can use is the "find" command. To find empty directories in the current directory, you use the option -empty: find .

Hi all,

1). Is is possible to use the date builtin and subtract a literal e.g 1 day in bash alongwith the find command from the command line:

e.g

Code: find . -name --date %Y-%m-%d - 1 2).

Hi,

I need to delete the last N days file using find. I am trying to use

find . -mtime -10 -print

which lists down required files. but when i use

find . -mtime -10 -exec ls -lrt {} \;

it gives me all files in the directory including the required files but the required files are having ./ preceded with them.

Now when I tried find .

I am trying to cleanup a directory with around 4000 files, and using the below command to delete all .gz files older than 60 days, I am having the same issue of arguments being too long. is there a way i can use the same command to do what I intend to do.

find /opt/et/logs/Archive/*.log.*.gz -type f -mtime +60 -exec rm {} \;
