Look at mtime switch in find
Files created in within 24 hrs

find /tmp -name "LOG_*.dat" -mtime -1

Files created in after 24 hrs

find /tmp -name "LOG_*.dat" -mtime +1

LOG_`date`.log

Off topic. This is not a good name for a file. It will contain spaces, colons and other unwanted characters.

A better technique is:

YYYYMMDD="`date +%Y%m%d`"        # Reversed date yyyymmdd
LOG_${YYYYMMDD}.log

Much easier to deal with in subsequent scripts. Also comes out in date order in a basic "ls".
