And the function is trivial. Just pop it in your .bashrc
muda() { local M="$1" D="$2"; find "${D:-.}" -mtime -"${M:-1}"; }
muda # Find from "." anything modified within 1 day
muda 3 # Find from "." anything modified within 3 days
muda 2 /tmp # Find from "/tmp/" anything modified within 2 days
Or if you really don't want a function, create a script and drop it
into $HOME/bin
mkdir -p "$HOME"/bin; cat > "$HOME"/bin/muda <<x
#!/bin/sh
#
M="$1" D="$2"
find "${D:-.}" -mtime -"${M:-1}"
x
chmod a+x "$HOME"/bin/muda
Why are you so reluctant to use functions? Even the bash man page says,
"For almost every purpose, aliases are superseded by shell functions."
Puzzled.
