Any alternative for mmin or cmin parameter

Hi,

I need to write a shell script where I need to check whether log file is generated in last 1 hour or not. But I am getting below error in using mmin or cmin parameter with find command:

Code:
find: bad option -mmin
find: bad option -cmin

So my concern is that any alternative for mmin option is there which I can use?

Any help will be greatly appereciated.

Thanks in advance.
