I have the following directories and files: $ find . .. ../A ../A/a.pdf ../B ../B/b.pdf ../B/b.txt ../C ../C/c.pdf That is, three directories (A, B, and C), and each one has one PDF file in it.

find command parameter (mtime - or + )
I know what the mtime parameter does but can somebody explain what the difference is when the number followed by the parameter is "+" and when it's "-". Ie: #find . -name "*.trc" -mtime -2 -print | wc -l 3 #find . -name "*.trc" -mtime 2 -print | wc -l 0 There is obvious a difference sinc... 12 Jul 2010 18:30

I want to parse HH:MM:SS with AWK. I know I can do something like this (see below) and this will put my values into variables, which I can use in the shell. But it also involves invoking awk 3 times, which is wasteful. cpu_hh=$(echo $cpu_time | $AWK -F':' ' { print $1 } ') cpu_mm=$(echo $cpu_time | $AWK -F':... 13 Jul 2010 03:15
