Find command do not work on Ubuntu

[Георгий У.]

This command has extra plus.

find . -mtime +5 | wc -l
668944   # Wrong.

find . -mtime 5 | wc -l
1565     # It looks valid.

Here is the difference between the two:

• find . -mtime 5: find files with a modification time of exactly five days ;
• find . -mtime +5: find files with a modification time of at least five days.

Chances are you have a lot of old files around.

Just send us a PR please.

@Aversiste That is true, my bad. What I wanted was find . -mtime -5.
