But if the script needs to be repeatable, you might want to consult a list of files, because create time really isnt all that reliable of a method to group files together for mysql packages. You might want to look at my other post and using rpm or dpkg to generate a list, or if you did it from source construct your own list. > I want to find all files with the same time as another file > and find should do that and doesn't. Oh well. as I mentioned before, its a question of resolution. find is accurate to the second, and you want something less accurate (the day, hour?) I have found that if I reach a dead end because there are no tools to solve my problem, I might be looking at the problem the wrong way.
