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 use find and ls to accomplish with this:

find . -type f -exec ls -l {} \; |  egrep "Aug 26";

It will find all files in this directory, display useful informations (-l) and filter the lines with some date you want... It may be a little bit slow, but still useful in some cases.
