Yes, but how do you filter the result on some combination of file attributes?
du -a | cut -f2 | xargs ls -dl | grep <awful pattern> | sed 's/.*:[0-9]* //' ?
And then you would have a hard time specifying pattern for "newer than 5 days".
If you want to do it this way around, a command is missing for filtering a
list of file names, as already mentioned by Raphaël. It could be generalised
to a command for filtering stdin by calling a predicate command, e.g:
du -a | cut -f2 | filter test -w
For this, test is missing "newer than 5 days" since that's what find does.
