Listing Files with Certain Criteria
 

If I wanted to do an ls or a listing of a subdirectory of files that were last modified in that directory in the past 30 minutes, how would I go about doing so?

For example, I want to do a listing of /var for only files that were created in the last 45 minutes.

Easily done, check out the atime, mtime, and ctime switches. These pages:

Should give you a good start. Lots more info on these switches can be found through Google.

Checking the current directory for files accessed at least 45 minutes ago
find . -amin +45

To find the accessed between now and 45 minutes ago you probably have to write a script listing the +45 and +1 situation and using diff to sort them out.
