http://www.unix.com – Hi there! Well, I'm writing a script to obtain certain information about files. Specifically, I want to get the information about those files which last access were in the last 24 hours, so I'm doing something like this: Code: find <directory_name> -atime -1 -printf '%f %a\n' I would also like to add some extra information to this result: I would like to obtain the date and time of the last modification of these files if that is also during the last 24 hours, so that I might use '%t' anywhere. The problem is that not all files were also modified during this time. How could I im (HowTos)

I can open the HUD and search for some files I have stored by name, but there is no path information to let me know where my file is in the system. I would like to be able to go looking around the immediate vicinity for other related files.

A new approach to renaming these files will help me in the future because the files are generated by the recorder in serial-numbered order.

Optimizing find command 20 weeks 1 day ago

I have about a million files for which I need to get the filename, size, and date modified.

Is there any improvement that can be done, performance-wise, on the following command to get this information?

find ./ -exec ls -lh {} \;

Note: I can exclude files such as ".file", ".trash/", and any folders themselves (i.e., I only need the file information).

Update:

Here are the results:

Find modifies the Access Time 29 weeks 2 days ago

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.

Hello,

Using the -atime -mtime or -ctime tests in the find utility returns information about files that were accessed, modified or changed N 24 hour periods ago. Does anyone know how to use time utilities to generate arguments to these tests that specify particular dates? One could use a calender and a calculator to compute the number of days between the desired date and the current time.

Finding files at more speed 1 year 14 weeks ago

I have been using find command to find files on my 1 tb hard disk. it takes very long. then I used locate which proved to be faster with regular update using updatedb. But the limitation of locate is that I cannot find files with certain size or modified/created time.

P.S.

Hello #! community.I was wandering if there was a way I could get a tooltip or information bar (like size, type etc.) to show the bitrate of MP3 files.

I am using the android ndk to read from some files and I am having a few issues with the output. The thing is, it is working most of the time, but it occasionally gives wrong input. Below is how my code is set up (note that this isn't the complete code, but if more information is needed I'll add it. I just want to keep it simple).

Firstly, I apologize for not being more specific with my problem, but Ubuntu One is just not providing me with any information. It appears to be working, it states that "syncronization in progress..." but it never actually syncronizes (by never I mean 3 days).
