get the number of files

[pho01]

What command do I run to get the number of files on a share server in which modified date is greater than 30 minutes ago?

for instance:
I'm on a unix box named: unix1

I want to get the number of files in which modified dates are greater than 30 minutes ago. these files are located on a shared windows server at this location:
\\nshare\path\targetdir

We need to keep track of the logs...
Thanks much

well this is a whole host of commands ...

first you need to get to get the files from the windows box.

you could use samba for this, possibly using smbtar and piping the file to the directory of your choice.

you then need to check the time of a file ... 30mins is too small for 'find' normally (find is limited to days).

perl could do it i guess.

if (time - (stat($file))[9] > (30*60)) {print $file}

would do it i guess.

then you could just 'wc -l' to get the number of files.

so you could enter ... get ready:

cd <directory to place files> ;
smbtar -s <server> -u <user> -p <password> -x <share on server> -d <subdirectory> -t - | tar xvf -
find . -type f -exec perl -el '$f=$ARGV[0];if(time-stat($f))[9]>(30*60)){print $f}' {} \; | wc -l

well it might work for you

find /your/directory/ -name "*.*" -cmin +30

Sorry, you want the number of files:

find /your/directory/ -name "*.*" -cmin +30 | wc -l

my find doesn't have the cmin option ...

 

[JasonDeckard]

In that case, try -c in place of -cmin.

 

[jad]

nope, no '-c' ... I'm not using GNU tho, i'm on Solaris.

Provided you use ksh and don't work between midnigth and 00:29 you can try something like this:

day=$(date "+%m%d")
typeset -Z2 hr=$(date "+%H")
typeset -Z2 mn=$(date "+%M")
if [ $mn -ge 30 ]; then
  mn=$((mn - 30))
else
  mn=$((mn + 30))
  hr=$((hr - 1))
fi
touch -t "$day$hr$mn" /tmp/stamp$$
find path/to/dir -type f ! -newer /tmp/stamp$$ -print

But the thing is, how to connect to the windows net share directory? It's a shared dir, no username and password required.

smbtar does not work for me. It said: not found.
Thanks

smbtar is part of samba.
