Tools Here is another hint/approach

touch a temp_file
stat -c %Y temp_file
will give you current_time in 'unix' seconds

init_time=current_time - (10*60*60)
will give you unix time 10 hours ago

then cycle thru your files, performing that stat command.
check to see if the stat on each file >= init_time
