You should usually get a decimal number because it does not round off, and it should not be negative because it takes the absolute value.

Possibly you tried the script before I made some modifications on it, as the original one measured in seconds instead of in minutes.

take a look at the find command. Specifically at the -newer flag. You can also embed find into a script and pass it parameters to find files older/newer than a specific time down to the second....again..check out the man pages
