find on time basis
December 8th, 2008 at 8:55pm |
this is how to use the find command to search for files on a time basis, i.e. to search for files more recent than a certain date or time
- create an empty file with an arbitrary date and time (which will correspond to t0 of our search)
touch -t yyyymmddhhmm [filename] - find -newer [filename]
you can then use |grep [keyword] to filter the results
