Thank you for so many people give me a hint. The summary are:
I. Regular SUN Solaris "find" command can NOT specify minute or hour. No
matter which option flag you use (-mtime, -ctime, -atime), they all base
on day. Some people mention their has option flag "-cmin", "-mmin", but
I can NOT find it under Solaris 2.5 and 2.6.
II. Most people suggest following way to solve this problem:
# touch -t MMDDhhmm file_name
# find . -newer file_name -print
Where MMDDhhmm means Month, Day, Hour, Minute that you want the
files create, access, and modify times set to (like a point 8 hours earlier
than the current time). RTFM both touch and find for more details...
Mr. Douglas Palmer also provide a script to do that:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
typeset -Z2 BHOUR=0
typeset -Z2 NHOUR=0
CDAY=`date "+%m%d"`
NHOUR=`date "+%H"`
NMIN=`date "+%M"`
if [ $NHOUR -lt 8 ]
then
let BHOUR=24-NHOUR
let CDAY=CDAY-1
else
let BHOUR=NHOUR-8
fi
BTIME=`echo $CDAY$BHOUR$NMIN`
touch -t $BTIME /tmp/acc$$
find . -newer /tmp/acc$$ -print
rm -f /tmp/acc$$
III. Some people suggest using GNU find (www.gnu.org), it support -mmin flag.
But their have couple of people mention GNU find buggy.
