Hi.

Well, the touch command will update the timestamp of the named file (in this case TODAY) back to midnight of the current day.

Run that whenever you like, before you run your find command and it'll show which files have changed since midnight (i.e. today).

If it's not clear, perhaps you could give more context about your script (i.e. when you plan to run it, and how)?

Cheers
