above must work can you please check it
No, it must not. -iname is an extension to the standard which is not supported by every find implementation.

Combined with a && = AND condition:
Code:
if [ -n "`find file1 -mtime 0`" ] &&
 [ -n "`find file2 -mtime +20`" ]
then
 echo "\
file1 is younger than 24 hours and
file2 is older than 20 days."
fi

With many find's, in this instance it's possible to test the exit status directly. Whether the following is good practice is something I'll leave for others to decide.
Code:
find file1 ! -mtime 0 -exec false {} +    &&     find file2 ! -mtime +20 -exec false {} +

Well, to be sure it is 20 not 21, you need '! -mtime +21' in the mix, eh?
