Use of mmin

Hi,

I am trying to get the list of all the log files which are created/modified 30 days ago. So i am using the following command:

find "$path" -mmin +"$time"|grep ".*[ 0-9 ]\{8\}\.log"|wc -w

I am getting the following error:
find: 0652-017 -mmin is not a valid option.

Can you please help me.

Thanks in Advance

mmin would be 30 minutes ago... unfortunately this option does not extst on hpux...
for 30 days I would imagine -mtime 30
or if it were 30 minutes, then you would have to fight with -newer
