I see the below dates available for a file. Is there a way we can use Find command to check by the date of last modification of i-node (May 12 in below).
Code:
$ ls -l file1.dat
-rw-r--r--    1 user staff             6 May  8 09:40 file1.dat
$ ls -lc file1.dat
-rw-r--r--    1 user staff             6 May 12 14:34 file1.dat

As
Code:
find . -newer startTimeFile ! -newer endTimeFile

is looking at May 8 in above example
Yes. Do exactly what I suggested in post #3:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
trap 'rm -f /tmp/startTimeFile.$$ /tmp/endTimeFile.$$' INT QUIT TERM HUP EXIT
touch -t 201705120000 /tmp/startTimeFile.$$
touch -t 201705122359.59 /tmp/endTimeFile.$$
find . -newer /tmp/startTimeFile.$$ ! -newer /tmp/endTimeFile.$$

The above code assumes that your current working directory is not /tmp. You want to create your timestamp range files somewhere that will not be searched under the list of file hierarchy roots given as operands to find.

I tried the exact code you gave (20170512) but it did not find file1.dat.

But if I create the files like below (20170508) then it is able to find file1.dat
Code:
touch -t 201705080000 /tmp/startTimeFile.$$
touch -t 201705082359.59 /tmp/endTimeFile.$$
