bipinajith,

The command works but for some reason it just outputs the contents of the file that has a match without outputting the file name..

Use -l option with grep if you want to list only the file names:-
Code:
find . -type f -mtime $(( ( $(date +%s) - $(date -d '2012-11-15' +%s) ) / 60 / 60 / 24 - 1 )) -name "srvr*.log" -exec grep -l "scott" {} \;
