According to the find manpage: All primaries which take a numeric argument allow the number to be preceded by a plus sign (``+'') or a minus sign (``-''). A preceding plus sign means ``more than n'', a preceding minus sign means ``less than n'' and neither means ``exactly n'' . So "find . -ctime -2" should work. > Please aswer to me too, because I am not subscribed to this list.
