Need Unix Help... how can I find out what file changed in the last 5 minutes?

[Kenji4861]

My friend showed me a command one time

find . -mtime 1
which showed me all the files that changed in the last 24 hours.

Is there a command that would tell me what changed in the last minute or 5 minutes? Thanks!

if you know the directory the file is in, go there and just do 'ls -alt' to get a detailed listing sorted by date/time, and look at the timestamp

do "man find" for all the options.

"find . -mmin 5" to find files modified in the last 5 minutes.
