See this thread for information on using the find command to search for files based upon time. Also see man find


The find command is really powerful as you can search for files modifed down to an exact (well almost) time using a reference file

touch -t 03201600 /tmp/datefile
creates a file with timestamp of March 20, 4:00

find . -newer /tmp/datefile -print
find files newer than timestamp of datefile - granular to within one minute
