For others who land here in the future (including myself), add a -name option to find specific file types, for instance: find /var -name "*.php" -mtime -1 -ls
On GNU-compatible systems (i.e. Linux):
find . -mtime 0 -printf '%T+\t%s\t%p\n' 2>/dev/null | sort -r | more
This will list files and directories that have been modified in the last 24 hours (-mtime 0). It will list them with the last modified time in a format that is both sortable and human-readable (%T+), followed by the file size (%s), followed by the full filename (%p), each separated by tabs (\t).
2>/dev/null throws away any stderr output, so that error messages don't muddy the waters; sort -r sorts the results by most recently modified first; and | more lists one page of results at a time.
Another, more humane way:
find /<directory> -newermt "-24 hours" -ls
or:
find /<directory> -newermt "1 day ago" -ls
or:
find /<directory> -newermt "yesterday" -ls
This command worked for me
find . -mtime -1 -print
You can do that with
find . -mtime 0
From man find:
[The] time since each file was last modified is divided by 24 hours and any remainder is discarded. That means that to match -mtime 0, a file will have to have a modification in the past which is less than 24 hours ago.
