I could use the 'touch' method, but would rather not... what I'm trying to do is get a listing (eg. ls -l) of all the files that dump is going to dump to tape for a given dump level. So what I'd like to do is parse /etc/dumpdates for the dump level, extract the date, and feed that to this app. The -mtime/mmin options won't work cause those are "==" not ">=". I know I could dump to tape, rewind, and then "restore tf" but that doesn't get me the long listing and it's kind of a pain... -philip On Fri, 17 Nov 2000, Matthew Hunt wrote: > On Fri, Nov 17, 2000 at 02:18:30PM -0800, Oliver Crow wrote: > > > You can use 'touch' to turn a date into a file (so to speak). > > To find files newer than yesterday, for example: > > There's also find's "-mtime" and "-mmin" options.
