Execute a part of shell script only after particular date and time

I have created a simple shell script... say test.sh

Contents of test.sh
================

service named restart
cp /etc/imp.conf /backup/test/
#-- if date > 15 July 2007 11:23 pm , then only issue the commans below, else exit ---
cp /etc/secondimp.conf /backup/test/
rm -f /etc/secondimp.conf

##------ End of test.sh ------ ##



So .. how do I achieve this.. a cron is set to run test.sh daily... but I want commands from line 4 to run only after 15 July 2007 11:23 pm ... if not.. the script will execute first two commands only and exit.



Please advise.

Dist::Zilla::App::Command::test(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		      Dist::Zilla::App::Command::test(3pm)

NAME
Dist::Zilla::App::Command::test - test your dist VERSION
version 4.300020 SYNOPSIS
dzil test [ --release ] [ --no-author ] [ --automated ] [ --all ] DESCRIPTION
This command is a thin wrapper around the test method in Dist::Zilla. It builds your dist and runs the tests with the AUTHOR_TESTING environment variable turned on, so it's like doing this: export AUTHOR_TESTING=1 dzil build --no-tgz cd $BUILD_DIRECTORY perl Makefile.PL make make test A build that fails tests will be left behind for analysis, and dzil will exit a non-zero value. If the tests are successful, the build directory will be removed and dzil will exit with status 0. OPTIONS
--release This will run the test suite with RELEASE_TESTING=1 --automated This will run the test suite with AUTOMATED_TESTING=1 --no-author This will run the test suite without setting AUTHOR_TESTING --all Equivalent to --release --automated --author AUTHOR
