Hi...

trying to figure out how to craft a find cmd to find a given file in a dir,
that is changed more than x mins in the past

i thought i could use a combination of find, wholename, and cmin... but
those isn't giving me what i'm looking for... it's not returning any
files...

thought i could do a pipe, but that didn't work either

i thought
 find . /foo/*.txt -cmin -10 would work, but that's not using the change
"cmin" attribute...

so i've also tried
 find . -cmin -10 -wholename '/foo/*.txt'  with no luck as well...

thoughts/comments would be 'ppreciated!

thanks
