Of course there is a way to find files of any time interval old.
You can touch a file with certain timestamp (see manual pages for program touch) and then use find with option -newer (see manual pages for program find). This procedure can be stored in a simple but useful shell script. Try it!

NAME

       xmms2-find-avahi - finding running XMMS2 instances via Avahi

SYNOPSIS

       xmms2-find-avahi

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the xmms2-find-avahi command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the orig-

       XMMS2 is a redesign of the XMMS (http://www.xmms.org) music player. It features a client-server model, allowing multiple  (even	simultane-
       ous!)  user interfaces, both textual and graphical. All common audio formats are supported using plugins. On top of this, there is a flexi-
       ble media library to organize your music.

       xmms2-find-avahi lists all XMMS2 instances that are running on the network and can be accessed  via  Avahi.   XMMS2  can  be  announced	by
       xmms2-mdns-avahi.

OPTIONS

       This program does not offer any options.

SEE ALSO

       xmms2(1), xmms2-mdns-avahi(1), http://xmms2.xmms.org.

AUTHORS

       xmms2-find-avahi was written by the XMMS2 Team.
