Help with find –mmin in a .ksh script
I need to compare the time a file was last modified against current time and conditionally proceed.
At the command prompt I can do:
find MYFILE -mmin +1140
and it lists the file. But I need to test, and if true do something
I’ve tried things like:
if [ $MYFILE -mmin +1140 ]; then
if [ find $MYFILE -mmin +1140 ]; then
etc. with no luck of course
any ideas on using –mmin, or something comparable, to get a true-false result in my script?

decimal, hexadecimal (0x...) or octal (0...) format. One integer of a pair can be missing (-N can be used to specify all characters with
codes less or equal to N, and N- for all characters with codes greather or equal to N). Multiple -i and -x options can be used.
EXAMPLES
Make PDF samples for font.ttf and write them to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -o samples.pdf
Make PDF samples for font.ttf, compare it with oldfont.ttf and highlight new glyphs. Write output to file samples.pdf:
fntsample -f font.ttf -d oldfont.ttf -o samples.pdf

U+04FF but exclude U+0370-U+03FF:
fntsample -f font.ttf -s -o samples.ps -i -0x04FF -x 0x0370-0x03FF
