Here is my predicament:
find file.xml -exec ls -l {} \;
-rw-r--r--  1 user group 835201 Feb 11 14:49 file.xml

date -r file.xml
Wed Feb 11 14:49:21 PST 2009

find file.xml -mmin 40 -exec ls -l {} \;


date
Wed Feb 11 15:06:50 PST 2009

What I am trying to do is have a script kicked off via cron to do a find no a certain file, and if it has changed in the last minute to copy it elsewhere.
