Possible enhancement to find(1)
I often find myself (no pun intended!) wanting to determine which files
were accessed before/since a particular timestamp. There currently
exist the -{a,c}{newer,min,time} primitives, but none of these allow me
to say "since today at 5 AM".
I'd like to suggest adding new primitives
-asince "timestamp"
-csince "timestamp"
where the timestamp argument would be converted to an actual time using
parsedate(3).
Does anyone else think this is a good idea? Is there anyone who would
object to adding these primitives?
