Check if file modified
Hi,
I have a monitoring script that I run, and I would like to automate checking if specific parameter file is modified during the last day or two. How do I do that?

Here is a very crude script(qualifies well for 'how not to write a script').
Learning phase for me  Hopefully a much better solution would come up. Code:
#! /bin/sh
FILE=/file/to/check
DoC=echo `stat -c=%y $FILE | awk -F"-" '{ printf $3 }' | cut --delimiter=' ' -f1`
DoM=$((`date +%d` - DoC))
echo "$FILE last modified $DoM days ago"
DoM=Date of modification Not tested. Vino
