"Older" in what sense? Have last been accessed more than one day ago? Have last been modified more than one day ago? Have last had their metadata changed more than one day ago? Remember, Unix files have no inherent "creation date" metadata (although /some/ Unix systems support such information).

Older than 24 hours i.e. mtime +1 Note I do not want to use find as it searches recursively and I want to just restrict to pwd. Thanks
