Help with find –mmin in a .ksh script

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

I need to compare the time a file was last modified against current time and conditionally proceed.

At the command prompt I can do:
find MYFILE -mmin +1140

and it lists the file. But I need to test, and if true do something

I�ve tried things like:
if [ $MYFILE -mmin +1140 ]; then
if [ find $MYFILE -mmin +1140 ]; then

etc. with no luck of course
any ideas on using �mmin, or something comparable, to get a true-false result in my script?

Would this do something like what you want?

for FOUNDFILE in `find ${MYFILE} -mmin +1140`; do
  ls -l ${FOUNDFILE}
  file ${FOUNDFILE}
  sum ${FOUNDFILE}
done

Yes... i was able to use your idea and trip a flag variable in there!
Thank You!
