Touch a marker file elsewhere with the first second of today and do mv of found files:
Code:
touch $( date '+%m''%d0000' ) /tmp/marker.$$
mv $( find . . . ! -newer /tmparker.$$ -type f ) target_dir
rm /tmp/marker.$$

If you have a find with -newerXY you can specify the time directly without a marker file, deriving the date-time in essentially the same way. The '' between %m and %d is to keep it from being an SCCS metastring. A file last modified right at the second of midnight might get moved, so then you need yesteday at 235959 from a later version of date.

       -force, -f
	   Do not prompt to confirm job cancel and clean-up.

       -quiet, -q
	   Do not print diagnostics for succesful cancel. Implies -f

ENVIRONMENT
