Clarity on depth flags when using find and move 1

[bazil2]

(Elementary user)

I have tried making a script that looks for directories older than 24 hours at 'top' level; by that I mean I do not want it to descend into subfolders) it should then move (using a special move binary) the found directories to another location and place them in a folder with the date from yesterday.

Here is my script:
#!/bin/sh
#
cd /path/to/my/folder/to/search/in
#
YESTERDAY=$(date -d "yesterday" '+%Y-%m-%d')
#
find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -mtime 1 -type d -exec /usr/etc/appletalk/ksmv {} /target/path/after/moving/$YESTERDAY/ \;

Can anyone confirm, have I understood the flags correctly?

Best regards

My guess would be you don't need the mindepth if you're only searching the top-level directory. mindepth only seems appropriate with maxdepth, when searching between two levels. never having used it, this might be wrong!
