Re^4: list files based on age and pattern

To test for files older than 15 mins use ... and (-M) > 1.0 / 96 in your grep.

That's a pretty strong obfu to someone who is not fluent with the -M file test.

It is definitely worth a comment in your code what you meant to do/'re doing there. ;-)

You mean, pointing out that `-M` units are days and that a day has 24 * 4 = 96 intervals of 15 minutes?	[reply] [d/l]

You mean, pointing out that `-M` units are days and that a day has 24 4 = 96 intervals of 15 minutes?* Nah, just saying "this tests for files older than 15 minutes" because "`... and (-M) > 1.0 / 96` " simply does not look that way. Advice was to the OP, as you already said so in your post. Cheers, Sören Créateur des bugs mobiles - let loose once, run everywhere. (hooked on the Perl Programming language)	[reply]
