files created within last 10 mins
Any simple 1 liners to check a directory to see if a file was created within the last 10 mins?

Maybe this will help.

Code:
touch /some_dir/some_file; sleep 600; find /some_dir -newer /some_dir/some_file

find /dir/to/search -name '*.*' -cmin 10

See man find to look for more time based options.

GNU find will allow you to find files in this fashion .. although you wont be able to use the creation date .. the 3 options are: -amin -cmin and -mmin for access, status change and modified stamps.

Seems like this is my best option so far:
touch /some_dir/some_file; sleep 600; find /some_dir -newer /some_dir/some_file

As I cannot install GNU find - as I want to run this on many servers and most of which I dont have root access...


The command above will list only the file name that are found to be newer..
How can I list the date/timestamp of only the files found aswell?
