On my Fedora 10 system  with findutils-4 4 0-1 fc10 i386   find  lt path gt  -daystart -ctime 0 -print   The -daystart flag tells it to calculate from the start of today instead of from 24 hours ago   Note however that this will actually list files created or modified in the last day   find has no options that look at the true creation date of the file
