Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers find -mtime off by one day? Post 81652 by Ygor on Tuesday 23rd of August 2005 01:13:30 AM
Old 08-23-2005
From the manual pages for GNU find...
Code:
      -atime n
             File was last accessed n*24 hours ago.  When find figures out how  many  24-hour  preiods
             ago  the file was last accessed, any fractional part is ignored, so to match -atime +1, a
             file has to have been modified at least two days ago.

      -mtime n
             File's  data was last modified n*24 hours ago.  See the comments for -atime to understand
             how rounding affects the interpretation of file modification times.
