You can use "find -newer" and not have to guess/remember how long ago
$ cat makets
#!/bin/sh
# create a timestamp file
#
# useful for finding files created after the timestamp
# eg. find files created/modified after timestamp
# find ${HOME} -newer /tmp/timestamp
# find all files created/modified after timestamp
# find /cygdrive/c -newer /tmp/timestamp
TS=`date +%Y%m%d-%H%M`
# 20160225-0734
touch /tmp/timestamp /tmp/timestamp-${TS}
