Details:
Using the command argument -mtime with gnufind (4.1.20) I have found that
files that are 25 hours old will not be listed in a find with -mtime +1. From
my understanding +1 would result in files older than 1 day (24 hours). mtime 1
would be exactly 24 hours old (to the second) and -1 would be files that are
less than 24 hours old. The documentation states that 1 means between 24-48
hours. Does this mean that +1 is greater than 24 hours? However it appears
that +1 will only find files that are 72 hours old or older.
I have tested the find command using watch and a file was not found using
-mtime +1 until 72 hours (to the second) old.
