Assume that you want to find in your linux system the files that have been changed during a time period from now to the past. You can run the following command
find . -mtime 250
With this command you will have a list of modified files in the last 250 days. Below you can see more examples
-mtime +60 means you are looking for a file modified 60 days ago. -mtime -60 means less than 60 days. -mtime 60 If you skip + or – it means exactly 60 days.
Then if you want to format the output and order the results by the date you can run this
find . -mtime -250 -exec stat --format '%Y :%y %n' "{}" \; | sort -nr
