Shell Programming and Scripting

Is there a simple command to find or check if a file has been modified within the last minute? The mtime parameter from find cmd only allow days.

I am trying to avoid timestamp parsing and do some sort of comparison as I'm real beginner at scripts. If this is the only way, any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm also open to any other ideas!

Thanks for any help!

After some additional research, I found the parameter mmin for the find cmd. That will allow me to check last modified by minutes.

Thanks.

Code:

find /home/karthik/ -mtime -1 -type f -exec ls -l {} \;

Try replacing mtime by mmin and don't forget to read man find.
