Thanks for all the replies. The most common answer (and simplest for me
to implement) was to touch a file and base the comparison on that which
worked well.

You can use date+%j for the Julian date. Try this:
find ./PMAB1* -atime +`date +%j` -xargs -I {} mv

date +%j gives you the Julian day (day of the year as a three-digit
decimal number).

You could touch a file with -m option to set the date to 0:0:0 20040101
and then do a find -newer.
On Linux, it's
touch -m -t <timestamp> file
.
Don't have access to HPUX right for that exact syntax.

Greg:
Depends on how sneaky you are and if you have root access...you could
touch a file and give it a back-date using the -t option, then
find /PMAB1* ! -newer touched_file
notice the "not" directive, so "not newer than touched_file, so, if you
created touched_file with
touch -t 200401010000 touched_file
it will return all file in /PMAB1* that are newer than touched_file
(01/01/2004)

create one file of your date (01-jan-2004) as
touch -t <YYYYMMDDHHMM> <file name>
touch -t 20040101 new_file
Then run find command as
find ./PMAB1* -newer new_file -exec mv {} \;
or
find ./PMAB1* -newer new_file ?xargs ?I {} mv
Greg,
The find in HP-UX does not have a -xargs option so I'm not sure what
you're attempting to do, but to find files created before 2004
you could do this:
- - - - - snip - - - - -
touch -t 200401010000.00 /tmp/foobar
find ./PMAB1* ! -newer /tmp/foobar -print
rm /tmp/foobar
- - - - - snip - - - - -
The touch command will create a file with a timestamp of midnight
January 1, 2004 and the find will find all the files that are NOT
newer than the temp file (i.e.: before 2004).

Subject: [HPADM] script
Hi all! Looking for a script to find files and move them if they were
created before 2004. I used find ./PMAB1* -atime +221 -xargs -I {} mv.
I wanted to know if there is a simpler way to compare dates without
having to calculate the 221 days manually. Thanks for any help
