This will find all files in the current directory (.) which have been
accessed more than 3 days ago:
$ find . -atime +3
You can check for files which have been accessed less than 3 days ago
by specifying -3, or for files that have been changed 3 days ago, by
dropping the sign. You could also specify minutes instead of days by
using -amin instead of -atime.
FWIIW:
atime = the last time the file was opened for read
mtime = the last time the file was closed after it was opened for write
ctime = the time the inode information was updated (e.g. as a result
of a chmod or chown)
Kind regards,
Herta
