Hello,

I have the find command to list the files on some path. the same command give different list of files on two different servers.

The servers have different time zones.

Can I handle this case somehow to to get same files?

Thanks in advance..!

you need to provide more useful information than this. Find will return the files it finds... if there are different files, there will be different output..?

Yes, files are diffrent. What I want is it should list the files on some date. like if I give find command like this

find DIRPATH -type f -mtime -6 -mtime +5 -exec ls -lrt {} \;

It would list the files on 10 of may one one server and 11 may on other server.

well mtime is the age of the file in terms of 24 hour periods from the current time, so naturally there will be a point in different timezones where that can give a different date. Check the -daystart option to use the start of the day within the timezone.

can you give me an example on -daystart?

Is there any other way to list the files on some particular date?

Thanks
