find ignores the first filename that I search for

I search for two files that has changed recently in a folder, but it seems I invoke find incorrectly. In return I get only the results for the second file.

find /tmp -name 'twofirmscoop.so' -o -name 'twofirms.so' -exec ls -lt {} + 2>/dev/null

Try this:

find /tmp \( -name 'twofirmscoop.so' -o -name 'twofirms.so' \) -exec ls -lt {} + 2>/dev/null

The -exec argument only applies to the second match. To group them, do:

find /tmp \( -name 'twofirmscoop.so' -o -name 'twofirms.so' \) -exec ls -lt {} +
