Two additional points:
1. Beware that find -newer is slightly buggy; the
implementation is simpleminded and can only handle a
single -newer. Therefore, something like
find -newer oldfile ! -newer newfile -print
(which wasn't implied by the original question, but which
I've occasionally wanted to use) doesn't work. (It ought
to print the names of those files newer than oldfile but
not newer than newfile, i.e. a range.) I've fixed this;
I don't remember if I posted the fixes (or indeed even
the bug).
2. There are (probably nonstandard) versions of test that
can do
test file1 -nt file2
and
test file1 -ot file2
("newer than" and "older than").
