Find and symbolic link modification time

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

I have a directory made up of many symbolic links to folders multiple file systems.

I want to return folders modified within the last 50 days, but find is using the link time rather than the target time.

find . -type d -mtime -50

Is there a way to either:
a) Make a symbolic link modification time match its target or
b) Have find reference the target modification time?

Thanks,

Colm

            Cause the file information and file type evaluated for each symbolic link to be those of the file referenced by the link, and not the link
            itself.
