Hi,

Time till when the application should run is indicated in a file. First line is hour and second line is minute.
file:
10
55
Means my application should run till 10:55.

Now in a shell script, i am trying to make that logic but with no luck.

min=`tail -n 1 /file_with_time`
hour=`head -n 1 /file_with_time`

chour=`date +%H`
cmin=`date +%M`

if [ $chour < $hour ] <== Shell script throws error here when value is two digits ie if first line the file is > 9.
then
run_my_app
fi

if [ $chour = $hour ]
then if [ $cmin < $min ]
then
run_my_app
fi
fi

Kindly suggest.
