I need to create a script to collect all new created files in a
directory, "find" command in Solaris 9 only has option for mtime,
atime, ctime...

Help please.

Since the UNIX filesystem doesn't track "create time", you're left with
a big problem. Either track the file creation yourself inside your
application or write your own variant of UFS which will track file
creation time or switch to MacOS X which does this.

Hi,

As stated above you cannot find the creation date. However using find
command you can sort out the files depending on their access date and /
or modification/change date.

syntax would be as below

find <the path of the directory to search for the file>/* -atime -30

-atime is access time
- 30 indicates all the files accessed within 30 days from today

Incase you want to sort file depending on modification date

find <the path of the directory to search for the files>/* -ctime -30

ctime is for changed time

I hope this useful for you.

Thanks
Anuj

#ls -lR > afile

then, sometime later, in the same directory:

#ls -lR > bfile
#diff afile bfile
