Need the list of files which created in specific time

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi:

> I got following error on my system
Can't locate File/Find.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502/PA-RISC1.1 /opt/perl5/lib/5.00502 /opt/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.005/PA-

You have a very old Perl on your server. The 'File::Find' module wasn't part of the Perl Core distribution at that time.

I suggest that you download and install a current Perl. No reboot is necessary!

...and if per chance this is an old 10.20 system, Merijn has a Perl for that:

Perl 5.8.8 is an excellent version for production. Perl 5.10 was recently released too.

Touch a reference file (say /tmp/ref_file) with a specific timestamp that corresponds to approx 1 hr ago using:
touch -t CCYYMMDDhhmm.SS /tmp/ref_file

run a find:
find start_dir -type f -newer /tmp/ref_file

as per "man find":
-newer file True if the current file has been modified more recently than the argument file.

Why resurrect a 10-day old thread that has a bunny and for which your alternate proposal was first suggested by someone else on the opening day?

While 'find -newer ...' certainly works, it doesn't provide the moving window of time yielded by the Perl snippet I showed. Of course, you could wrap a 'touch' and a 'find' in a small shell script that creates the reference point; performs the 'find' and then removes the (then) useless reference file.
