Hi!

I'd like to know what would be the commands to:

-find all files which have not been modified within 10 days

-list of processes without any associating terminal

I'd like also to write a shell script which would find the other hardlinks of a file. The name of the file is given as the first argument.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Try going to koders.com and typing in your request you can look at others coding to find what you need.

First one is...

Thank you laceupboots and wmakowski for answering me!

find -mtime +10 finds files that were accessed or modified more than 10 days ago or am I get it wrong ? I 'd like to find files which have not been modified within 10 days. koders.com is great but I didn't find shell script codes for bash.

For processes:

find . -type f -mtime +11

Do this in the directory you want to search in. This will look for only files that are 11 or more days older (files that have not been modified within 10 days).

ps -axuf | grep -v tty[1-6] | grep -v pts

Interesting request...now why you would want to do this? There are 2 types of links in linux: hard links and symbolic (soft) links. If you don't see a softlink in your directory, then the rest are hard links.

find . -type l

This will show you soft links in the directory that you run this under. You can modify this so that it will disregard the list of files that this 'find' command sees. I'll give that simple project to you. Let us know if you need help (after you play around with some scripting of course) .

Thanks a lot twantrd for helping! My shell script to find the other hardlinks is in progress but I still miss something or may be everything to put the things all together in a bash script:

First I have to find the file entered as an argument : find ~ -name $1
Then I need to print the inode: ls -i $1 | awk '{print $1}'
Finally I need to print all the other files (hardlinks) with the same inode : find ~ -inum $1 -print

That looks fine to me. What's the problem you are encountering?

-twantrd

Is it possible to store in a variable the inode number I got from: so that I can assign it to:

I'd try something like

Yup, kees-jan code is correct. You can also do this:

Which does the exact same job. I just offered that solution as back-ticks are now deprecated and that's pretty much the standard way now of assigning variables.

-twantrd

I just tried your solutions and it works very fine ! Thanks again twantrd and kees-jan for your help.

Cheers !
