Return to Question

I am trying to determine which files will be touched based on their modified date. My directory is a top a list of perhaps several levels of subdirectories.

From a terminal window I run this command:

find Program.8.koeb/ -mtime -10

Which correctly produces a list of files created within the past 10 days. However if I want to query this list to make sure that the files I want to touch using the find command, I would run this command:

find Program.8.koebe/ -mtime -10 -exec ls -gotrhR {} \;

Which produces a long list of all the files within directories of my current working directory, including subdirectories, along with the named directory find is assigned to look. So, -exec ls -gotrhR {} \; seems to be producing the same output as:

find . -mtime -10 -exec ls -gotrhR {} \;

Which is not my intention.

    find . -mtime -10 -exec ls -gotrhR {} \;

which is not my intention.

Any offers on a helping hand?
