-To find all files that was modified since a specific time ago (i.e an hour ago, a day ago, 24 hours ago, a weeks ago and so on) in Unix environment, the find command will come in handy. The command syntax is:
-To find all files modified in the last 24 hours (last full day) in current directory and its sub-directories:
-find . -mtime -1 -print
-Flag -mtime -1 option tells find command to look for files modified in the last day (24 hours). Flag -print option will cause find command to print the files’ location. -print can be replaced with -ls if you want a directory-listing-type response.
-To find all files modified in the last 24 hours (last full day) in a particular specific directory and its sub-directories:
-find /directory_path -mtime -1 -print
-The command is basically the same with the earlier command, just that now you no need to cd (change directory) to the directory you want to search.
-To find all files with regular file types only, and modified in the last 24 hours (last full day) in current directory and its sub-directories:
-find /directory_path -type f -mtime -1 -print
-To find all files that are modified today only (since start of day only, i.e. 12 am), in current directory and its sub-directories:
-touch -t `date +%m%d0000` /tmp/$$
-find /tmefndr/oravl01 -type f -newer /tmp/$$
-rm /tmp/$$
-The first command can be modified to specify other date and time, so that the commands will return all files that have changed since that particular date and time.
