How to find recently modified files (linux)

June 06th, 2010

Open a terminal (Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal in Ubuntu 10.04, for example). Typing:

find . -mtime -1 -print

will find files in the current directory that have been modified in the past 24 hours. The ‘.’ can be replaced with another directory.

Thanks to My Digital Life for the information – this site gives more information and other options.
