pallvi · #1 (**permalink**) 12-21-2007

Hi,

I am making a script which check the directory and if there is today date file, it is showing message file is there for today date .

1) filename is accessline.win.$timestamp

example ;-accessline.win.200712211004

2) On monday i have recieved two file in this directory with current date and yesterday date and remaining day i have recieved only one file in this directory which is for current date.

3) everytime filename is same but only timesatmp is different.

I shall be very thankful to all of us , if anyone can sortout this problem.

> find -mtime -1

This will show files modified within the past day in the current directory. There is also a -ctime and -atime parameters available.

Normally users think of this in the opposite logic of finding files not modified in 10 days (for archive, etc...), and that would be
> find -mtime +10
