Hello,

Check out the man pages for find

Code:

man find

more specific the following options

Code:

-amin
-atime
-mmin
-mtime

That should get you going.

Kind regards,

Eric

Code:

find /path/to/dir -type f -mmin -120

Several of the find command's tests work on minutes rather than days so you can test for files that are more than 119 minutes old.

And if you know the possible location(s) of the file :

ls -tl <directory>

( see 'man ls' ).
