Some modern find(1)  know to work with printf.  Play with:

     find  .  .....  -printf  "%P  %p  %f  %h\n"

see the usable  %'s you like.

But,  I dont like using find(1)  in procamilrc because you do one more fork
to heavy program.   If I fork I try to use the cheaper commands.
So,  What I will do instead of your  touch .SMS_$LISTNAME

     touch  .SMS_$LISTNAME_`date '+%u_%P'`

   %u  is the day in the week.  If it is different from the  %u  in 
current day you know
you passed 24 hours.   I this way you use the MATCH mechanism.
