"find " command

[snowsmart]

I need a script to list/copy all files ( which have been created in the last 2 hours) from one directory to another.

it seems that the "find" command only can search by day not by hour.

please help

thanks

What version of "find" do you have? Gnu find supports an "amin" qualifier:

-amin n
File was last accessed n minutes ago.

This looks like it will give you the results you want... if yo have or can get the gnu version.

find . -newer reffile -exec cp {} /dest/dir \;
