Comment: Hi I have a script that searches for the last file modified & runs two differnt commandeds to apend to another file. I have aproblem with my find as it cannot find the file if I run the script from the parent directory. #!/bin/ksh LOG=`ls -lt day*.log|grep "^-" |head -1 |awk '{print $NF}'` STARTFILE=`head -6 $LOG >/tmp/HOME` ENDFILE=`tail -l |grep Logfile $LOG>>/tmp/HOME` for f in $(find /home/sing* -type f -name $LOG);do cd $(dirname $f);$STARTFILE;$ENDFILE;cd - done
