Find ommand multiple criteria

Hi,

I want to look for files within a bunch of sub dirs below a point in the directory tree that are both jpg and modified within the last 30 days.

When I use: find /home/data/pictures/ -mtime -30
I get all files modified in the last 30 days (within all sub dirs under pictures)

When I use:find /home/data/pictures/ -name *.jpg
I get all jpg files (within all sub dirs under pictures)

When I use:find /home/data/pictures/ -name *.jpg -mtime -30
I don't get any files from the sub directories (Only files within the pictures directory)

How can I get all files in the pictures sub directories using both criteria?

your find command should work. also, try to use quotes

Code:

find . -iname "*.jpg" -mtime -30

alternatively, if you don't mind using Python

Code:

!#/usr/bin/env python
import os
import time
thirtydays = 86400*30
now = time.time()
directory=os.path.join("/home","user","path") #change accordingly
for r,d,f in os.walk(directory):
    for files in f:
        if files[-4:].lower()==".jpg":
            timestamp = os.path.getmtime( os.path.join(r,files) )
            if now-thirtydays < timestamp:
                print os.path.join(r,files)
