This isn't strictly Linux related; in fact, it's not at all; it's a
question about usage of gnu find(1).
I'd like to be able to find
- files that were modified in the last A minutes
- files that were modified more than B minutes ago
- files that were accessed in the last C minutes
- files that were accessed more than D minutes ago
(A different run of find for each of the four usages)
My use: I'm trying to develop a hierarchial storage system, so that,
for example, if a file is regularly modified and accessed, it's automatically
backed up and kept on my fast SCSI, but if it's not used that often (example:
X and TeX fonts), it'll be moved to a slower drive, leaving the good
primary space open for regularly-used stuff.
And, of course, I'd like to code it then not have to think about it.
