When specifying time with find options such as -mmin (minutes) or -mtime (24 hour periods, starting from now), you can specify a number n to mean exactly n, -n to mean less than n, and +n to mean more than n. 2 For example:

find . -mtime -1  # find files modified within the past 24 hours
find . -mtime 1   # find files modified between 24 and 48 hours ago
find . -mtime +1  # find files modified more than 48 hours ago
find . -mmin +5 -mmin -10 # find files modifed between 5 and 10 minutes ago
