Can you do a "find / |grep [I]Timestamp[I] ? Or use the find for what ever directory you need?

Tools not sure if available in all environments, but
try

find * -mmin -60 (modified time), or
find * -cmin -60 (created time)

agree with joeyg, AFAIK you need gnu find, for example AIX find does not have the options mmin/cmin, I think most linuxes do use the gnu find.

Hi Asheesh,
Try this ...
-----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

#Get current time_stamp
ts=`date +%m%d%H%M`;export ts
ts=`expr $ts - 100`

#Create file with time_stamp
touch -t 0$ts check_flag

#Check for newer files than flag
find . -newer check_flag

#Remove time_stamp
rm check_flag

exit 0
--------------------------------------------
