this gives the files modified within the last 24 hours
 
so for me it would only work if I can run it at 0:00 ; but I can`t in
all cases

        Doesn't
         
        find <location i.e. /home> -mtime -1 -ls
         
        tell you what you want ? -mtime for modified time, -1 for less
than 1 day

                Hello,

                I need to find all files in /somewhere that have been
modified yesterday.

                So far I use touch -t todays_date_0:00 /tmp/timestamp
and find -new /tmp/timestamp to find all files modified earlier than
today.

                How can I filter out the files modified 2,3,4... days
before?
                I should have a way that does not rely on certain TZ or
LC* settings.

                Regards,

                Holger
