There is also variety of reasons why one would need to run a check to find out the list of files that are changed over a Linux system server directory throughout an explicit time-frame \u2013 like, your server is running low on space as a result of someone\u2019s been uploading massive files to the system, your developer has created certain changes without informing you regarding the files that were changed and for what reason. There is also a a 101 reasons why you would possibly notice the necessity to trace the files that are changed.<\/p>\n
So, here\u2019s the way by which one can know.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Go to the\u00a0directory<\/b>\u00a0that you want the files to be traced, by using the below command:<\/p>\n [root@data\u00a0~]#\u00a0<\/b>cd \/home\/username\/public_html<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Step 2: Using the following command would give you the files recursively that have been\u00a0modified<\/b>\u00a0in the past x days.<\/p>\n [root@data\u00a0~]#\u00a0<\/b>find . -mtime \u2013x<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Note:\u00a0<\/b>Change \u2018x\u2019 to the number of days you want the directory to be checked for.<\/p>\n If you also wish to check the time when the file was modified, use:<\/p>\n [root@data\u00a0~]#\u00a0<\/b>find . -ctime \u2013x<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But, if you wish to set a range \u2013 like a few days ago, but within \u2018x\u2019 number of days, use:<\/p>\n [root@data\u00a0~]#\u00a0<\/b>find . -ctime +1 -a -ctime -3<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There is also variety of reasons why one would need to run a check to find out the list of files that are changed over a Linux system server directory throughout an explicit time-frame \u2013 like, your server is running low on space as a result of someone\u2019s been uploading massive files to the system, […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2555","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-linux-servers"],"yoast_head":"\n
