| - | 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: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash | cmd> | ||
| - | find . -mtime -1 -print | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | Flag -mtime -1 option tells find command to look for files modified in the last day (24 hours).\\ | ||

| - | find /directory_path -mtime -1 -print | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash | cmd> | ||
| - | find /directory_path -type f -mtime -1 -print | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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: | ||
| - | |||
| - | <code bash | cmd> | ||
| - | touch -t `date +%m%d0000` /tmp/$$ | ||
| - | find /tmefndr/oravl01 -type f -newer /tmp/$$ | ||
| - | rm /tmp/$$ | ||
| - | </code> | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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. | ||
