How do I find all the files that were create only today and not in 24 hour period in unix/linux
Use ls or find to have all the files that were created today.
Using ls : ls -ltr | grep "$(date '+%b %e')"
ls -ltr | grep "$(date '+%b %e')"
Using find : cd $YOUR_DIRECTORY; find . -ls 2>/dev/null| grep "$(date '+%b %e')"
cd $YOUR_DIRECTORY
find . -ls 2>/dev/null| grep "$(date '+%b %e')"
