How to find out files created today i.e since midnight

[Dave Walley]

Hi.

I am trying to identify files that are created today, I have used find with -mtime 0 and this identifies files created in the last 24 hours. I only want those files created since midnight.

Thanks in advance

Dave

Dave,
you could create a file with midnight's timestamp with touch -t then do a find -newer on the file you just created.

Don't think you can find out creation date, just the modified date.
ls -t

-t Sort by time modified (latest first) before sorting
alphabetically.

You would ..
# cd /tmp
# touch 04230000 refa
# ll refa
..... 0 Apr 23 00:00 refa
Example of using the find on /var ..
# find /var -type f -newer /tmp/refa -exec ll {} \;
