Hi and thanks for the script.
When I try to run the script it produces the following error:
month index 5
date: -- illegal option
Usage: date [-u] [+format]
date [-u] [-t [[CC]YYMMDDhhmm[.SS] | MMDDhhmm[YY] ]
./UNIX_SCRIPT[72]: %s: syntax error
Another question is you have mentioned that the file must be passed as an argument? At the time of doing this check I won't know the latest file and would need to check in the current direcotry fot it.
Does this script do that? (The script is way above my knowledeg of Unix)
Thanks

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.
