How can I use find
to select files that have been written and not modified in the last minute?
I know I can do it the other way around, find files modified in the last 60 seconds with -mtime -60s
, but I want the ones that haven't been modified in the last 60 seconds.
I use Linux and get this error if I use seconds:
find ??/ -mtime +60s -name blah.tsv
find: invalid argument `+60s' to `-mtime'

Use
find /path -type f -mtime +60s
The
-
just before the digits is not a regular "argument dash", but means "less than".+
then is "more than".From
man find
:It should be noted that for exactly n, the time is rounded. So
1
(1 day) does not mean 86400 seconds.
