Find Command (Find more than one -user)

[ITGoddess]

Greetings!

Attempting to recall what the syntax is for the find command in order to locate files created by two different users. Goal is to take the files created by these two users in /tmp and tar in a different directory with date stamp). Thus far:

tar -cvf /db2/eomrpts/`date +"%y%m%d`.tar `find /tmp "-user one | -user 2" -mtime 0`

Many thanks for your help!

Regards,
-Michelle

Hi,
the '|'(or) bar in find is

-o

and the '&'(and) is

-a

I typically use parenthesis to Group my criteria.

In CSH you need to escape the '(' and ')' or the csh wont pass it to the find properly.

find /tmp \( -m 0 -o -m 1 -o -m 2 \) -print
