Hi admins, 
How to find the files which are created Just after midnight, the previous day. 
 
For the file which are created after midnight TODAY, I could refer to a file with the \
-newer option.  
find / -name "abc*.txt" -newer  /etc/today-file-after-midnight.
 
The question is for the PREVIOUS days file. Just the previous day!!
the command 
find / -name "def*.txt" -mtime +1    - gives me the list of ALL previous old files. \
But I want only the previous day (yesterday) file.  
Please help.
Balaji
