The version of find has more to do with the OS you have, than it does to do with the shell. find is an external (/usr/bin/find) command. You want files that
are less than 30 minutes old with a non GNU version of find:

This works
Code:
app> date
Mon Nov  9 13:57:57 MST 2009
app> touch -t 200911091257 dummy
app> find . -type f   ! -newer dummy -name request.txt

Note you need to specify a directory, not a filename
