shell script to maintain the log files

[dragon99]

-ctime n True if the file's status was changed n days ago.

-mtime n True if the file's data was modified n days ago.

what do we mean by file status here.

Sorry if the question is silly.

Thanks

It is a good question. You can go to unix and type
man find , it will give detail.
Based on what I find, ctime means since last time the file status was changed by such as chmod,chown,etc.
mtime means since the last time the data of the file was changed. Honestly, I myself not too clear about the differences betwen those two. I hope some unix gurus will help.
