scripting help

[Neil Watson]

I want to check, in a script, for a file or files that are less than x
number of days old.  If those conditions are met then do something.  I
had something like this in mind:

find ${TOMCAT}build/backup -iname "*war_????????-????" \
    -mtime -$BACKUPAGE || echo "No files found!"

However, I believe that if find encounters any errors, like permission
denied, the exit value would change and the test would fail.

Can someone suggest a better way?
