The program who is writing on the source is opening and closeing file multiple times in 1 minutes.

Please post what Operating System and version you have. We need to know whether your find command has the -mmin switch of whether it just has the usual accuracy of 24 hours.

Then even if we do what you ask it will never work, because it would wait for 2 minutes -- which would never happen...

Even if it does manage two minutes, waiting 2 minutes is no guarantee the program wouldn't start up again in the middle.

You need to cooperate with whatever's creating the files somehow, get information from it. Perhaps even halt it during the time you're copying files.

find command is working fine for me. But I need to redirect destination path also in my tmp_file.

Code:
exec < out_interfaces.cfg
while read source_path $destination_path
do
find $source_path -name "*" -amin +2 >> tmp_file
done

out_interfaces.sfg file has below data

Code:
/usr/local/scripts/tmp1 /usr/local/scripts/remote1
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2 /usr/local/scripts/remote2
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2 /usr/local/scripts/remote3
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3 /usr/local/scripts/remote3

and when I execute above script it shows below data in my tmp_file.

Code:
/usr/local/scripts/tmp1/test1
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp21
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp22
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp23
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp21
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp22
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp23
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3/tmp31
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3/tmp32
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3/tmp33

and I want below output in my tmp_file

Code:
/usr/local/scripts/tmp1/test1 /usr/local/scripts/remote1
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp21 /usr/local/scripts/remote2
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp22 /usr/local/scripts/remote2
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp23 /usr/local/scripts/remote2
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp21 /usr/local/scripts/remote3
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp22 /usr/local/scripts/remote3
/usr/local/scripts/tmp2/tmp23 /usr/local/scripts/remote3
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3/tmp31 /usr/local/scripts/remote3
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3/tmp32 /usr/local/scripts/remote3
/usr/local/scripts/tmp3/tmp33 /usr/local/scripts/remote3

Thank you everyone. My problem has been solved. I used below code.

Code:
 exec < out_interfaces.cfg
 while read source_path destination_path
 do
 {
 find $source_path -name "*" -amin +2 -exec echo $destination_path {} \;
 
 } >> tmp_file
