compare files acess time
I need to compare x file with y file.
If x file is newer than y file do xxxx; (I used touch -t yymmddxxx to chnage the time for y file) How can i do that? I tried use if [ $x -ot $y ] then echo "Xxx";; fi But cant....any other good ways to do it? |

Try this:
if [ `find xfile -newer yfile` ] then echo "xxx" fi In the above we are testing for a string to be returned. If xfile is newer than yfile then the find statement will return the string "xfile", hence the test will be true and perform the if statement. If xfile is not newer than yfile then the find statement will not return anything, so the test will be false and the if statement will not be performed. Let me know how you get on.
