I *believe* GNU find has such feature, but I am not sure (I once installed
it on an Ultrix system which was lacking another find feature I had on Sun,
and now have on DU ... I believe the man page mentioned also a granularity
finer than a day, but I never needed it).

Quick and dirty:
man find
* newer file
TRUE if the current file was modified more recently than the file
indi-cated by file.
touch -t <suitable time> myfile
find . -newer myfile or
find . ! -newer myfile

GNU find (part of GNU findutils in
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/gnu/findutils/ <ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/gnu/findutils/>
) has some options to specify times in minutes:
> find /var/adm/syslog.dated -depth -type d -ctime +5 -exec rm -rf
{} \ ;
gnufind /foo -type f -cmin +120 -exec blah {} \;
HTH (and happy new year !)

One way is to install the GNU findutils package
(ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/findutils/
<ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/GNU/findutils/> ) which adds options for
smaller age units. Specifically, '-cmin 120' for your example.
If you have installed Perl, you probably have a 'find2perl' command
that will output a Perl script that will also do the trick (after some easy
modifications). For example:
find2perl /var/adm/syslog.dated -depth -type d -ctime +5 -exec rm
-rf {} \; > p1
... then edit p1 to change '5' to (say) 0.08333
Hope one of these ideas helps some.

Try my awk script by fiddling with the time and deciding what you want to do
with the output. I posted this to the group last year as a way of finding
out of time pop temp files and locks.
## This awk program checks for a lock file and removes it if its over 15
minutes old ## Run it with a cron every 10 mins. It will look at the oldest
lock and whack ## it if over 15 mins. If < 15 mins or no locks it will exit
safely.
BEGIN {
while(1){
"date" | getline d
split (d,darray," ")
split (darray[4],t2,":")
tnow = darray[3]*1440 +t2[1]* 60 + t2[2]
## get date and parse it. create a value for minutes since day 1 of month
l="" "ls -lrt /data3/spool/mail | grep \.lock | grep -v clan" | getline l
print l ## edit above statement to reflect path to file or group of files u
r monitoring split (l,array," ") print array[9]
#
if (array[6] != darray[2])
tnow = 1440
## handle special case of file creation and time now being in different
months split(array[8],larray,":") t=array[7] *1440 +larray[1]*60 +
larray[2]
## create a value in mins since day 1 of month of file creation time
if(t==0) exit {if (tnow - t > 15) system("rm /data3/spool/mail/" array[9])
## whack it
else
exit }
}
}

If you have all the time in the world, you can use find to find all files
younger than a day, then in an -exec clause, feed ls -l through a sed or
grep filter and/or some time calculation to only display the ones matching
your time criterion.
But if you have lots of new files, it would probably be better to write a
program something like 'find' with finer granularity so you're not spawning
lots of 'ls' processes.

You could touch a file to set it's modification time to the time threshold
you are interested in, then use -newer touched_file. Or you could get GNU
find, which permits smaller times to be specified.

I work this by using touch to create a file with the time stamp I am
interested in. I then use find -older (actually, I usually am using find
-newer) to find the files.

I'm hoping you have received several replies.
They should all say something like:
Get the GNU version of find from any of the GNU/FSF mirror sites.
It will allow finds at the hour level.
