List of files changed in AIX 5.3

[balajipn]

Hi,

I need to find a list of files that have changed with in thet last 5 minutes in AIX 5.3. Can some one help me with this?.

The find command seems to handle files that have changed with in a day or multiples of days. It doesn't seem to deal with minutes.

Thanks,
Balaji.

Set up a cron script to touch a file every five minutes say touch /tmp/minute.`date +%M` this will create a zero length files in /tmp like minute.10, minute.15 etc, then run the find command using the -newer option find . -type f -newer /tmp/minute.xx where xx matches the /tmp/minute. file you want to use. This will give you all files that have changed since the /tmp/minute.xx was created.

I'm pretty sure the findutils RPM package has this function.

I use ls -alt | more in a directory to sort the files by the recent changed on top!

You can as well put the R option to do it recursively

ls -altR | more

Put as you see this is not the best solution

Use the -mmin find option:


[tt]find /your/dir -type f -mmin -5[/tt]


should find files that have changed within the last 5 minutes

see man page for find.
