Check if file was modified more than N time ago

The following commands will indicate if the specified file (/tmp/cache-lazy-op) was modified more than 60 minutes ago:

find "/tmp/cache-lazy-op" -mmin +60
fd cache-lazy-op /tmp --type f --changed-before 60m

The find command is more readily available and simpler to remember, but some people prefer more modern tools like fd.

Note

This isn't checking how old the file is, but specifically whether it was last modified over an hour ago.
