Finding files which are modified few mins ago
Hi All,

I have a requirement to find out the files which are modified in the last 10 minutes.

I tried the find command with -amin and -mmin options, but its not working on my AIX server.

Can anyone of you could help me.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the help.

But the -mmin option is not working. I tried -newer option for which you have provided a link, thats working.

Please let me know if there is any other option.

Thanks,
raju
