find on time basis

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

  1. create an empty file with an arbitrary date and time (which will correspond to t0 of our search)
    touch -t yyyymmddhhmm [filename]
  2. find -newer [filename]

you can then use |grep [keyword] to filter the results
