AIX alternative to mmin or amin

[Sambo8]

Hi there,

I want to know if a file exists that has been touched in the last 30 mins. mmin and amin do not work on the server so I was trying to touch a file and find a file if it was newer than that file as follows:

find /u01/sam/test/hello.txt -newer timelastrun.txt echo "no error"

but I get the following:

find: missing conjunction

Any ideas or help?

many thanks,
Sam

You can't just put an echo command on the end of the find command-line.

Try something like:

if find /u01/sam/test/hello.txt -newer timelastrun.txt  > /dev/null
then
    echo "no error"
else
    echo "no new files found!"
fi
