One of my favorite find criteria is to locate files modified less than
10 minutes ago. I use this right after using some system
administration tool, to learn which files got changed by that tool:

find / -mmin -10

[Hong Zhaogang]

find . -mmin -120 -type f

Find the files modified less than two hours ago under current
directory.

min find to see this:

Numeric arguments can be specified as

+n for greater than n,

-n for less than n,

n for exactly n.

-amin n
File was last accessed n minutes ago.

create a file using the touch command and assign the file the date
from which date you want to search a file.
now excecute 'find' cmd with newer option
ex: find <location> -newer <file created with touch>

this would list all files from the date specified with touch cmd.

Syantax : touch -t [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.ss]
for example to give a file a date of 7/04/04
simple do this
#touch -t 20040407 filename.
