Question

How do I find all the files that were create only today and not in 24 hour period in unix/linux

Answer 1

You can't. @Alnitak's answer is the best you can do, and will give you all the new files in the time period it's checking for, but -ctime actually checks the modification time of the file's inode (file descriptor), and so will also catch any older files (for example) renamed in the last day.
