modifying grep to get files only within last 2 hrs

ragha81 · #1 (**permalink**) 01-11-2007

Hi gurus

I am currently using the below mentioned grep to find timestamp of last generated log file.

Code:

 touch  -t $time_search dummy
       ecust_time_stamp=$(find .  -name 'eCustomerCME*' -newer dummy  -type f  -exec ls -ltr {} \; | tail -1 | awk ' { print $6,$7,$8 } ')

I calculate dummy variable based on this script

Code:

export day=`date +%d`
export month=`date +%m`
export day_len=${#day}
export mon_len=${#month}
export hr_min=0000
if [[ $day_len -lt 2 ]] || [[ $mon_len -lt 2 ]] 
then
   month=0$month
   day=0$day   
   export time_search=$month$day$hr_min
else 
   export time_search=$month$day$hr_min
fi

i need to modify my grep to search for log files generated only in last 2 hrs. can anyone suggest on how to do that.

thanks in advance
