Please, remember you are on a Unix system....
'ls' gives by default the modification time, and the flag -amin looks for
files 'accesed' less than n minutes ago. That includes acess for reading
and making no change.
Perhaps you should try with the following flags:
- ls: no flags give the modification time, -u flag gives the acces time
including last time accesed for read
- find: -amin or -atime, access (including reads).
-mmin or -mtime, modification
See man pages for more details.
