Hmm "stat" is not a HP UX command. It's on some Linux distributions but not a portable unix command.
Personally I'd use cron to run the script every 5 mins during the monitoring period.
Start the cron 5 minutes earlier than the start of your monitoring period.
Define a timestamp filename containing todays date:
YYYYMMDD="`date +%Y%m%d`"
my_timestamp="my_prefix${YYYMMDD}"
At the start of the script if the timestamp file does not exist, create it with unix "touch" and exit.
On the second and subsequent invocations the file will exist. You can then easily check whether the alert file timestamp is more than 5 minutes old with "find ... -type f ! -newer $my_timestamp ... ".
At the end of the script "touch" the timestamp file ready for next time.
You will need some code to delete old timestamp files, so choose a unique prefix for the timestamp filename.
Beware: Recursive alert log checkers can easily generate multiple alarms for one incident unless you code to deal with this.

GMDATE(3) 1 GMDATE(3)
gmdate - Format a GMT/UTC date/time
SYNOPSIS
string gmdate (string $format, [int $timestamp = time()])
DESCRIPTION
Identical to the date(3) function except that the time returned is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
PARAMETERS
o $format
- The format of the outputted date string. See the formatting options for the date(3) function.
o $timestamp
- The optional $timestamp parameter is an integer Unix timestamp that defaults to the current local time if a $timestamp is not
given. In other words, it defaults to the value of time(3).
RETURN VALUES
Returns a formatted date string. If a non-numeric value is used for $timestamp, FALSE is returned and an E_WARNING level error is emitted.
CHANGELOG

|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+---------------------------------------------------+
| 5.1.0 | |
| | |
| | The valid range of a timestamp is typically from |
| | Fri, 13 Dec 1901 20:45:54 GMT to Tue, 19 Jan 2038 |
| | 03:14:07 GMT. (These are the dates that corre- |
| | spond to the minimum and maximum values for a |
| | 32-bit signed integer). However, before PHP 5.1.0 |
| | this range was limited from 01-01-1970 to |
| | 19-01-2038 on some systems (e.g. Windows). |
| | |
| 5.1.1 | |
| | |
| | There are useful constants of standard date/time |
| | formats that can be used to specify the $format |
| | parameter. |

EXAMPLES
Example #1
gmdate(3) example
When run in Finland (GMT +0200), the first line below prints "Jan 01 1998 00:00:00", while the second prints "Dec 31 1997
22:00:00".
<?php
echo date("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
echo gmdate("M d Y H:i:s", mktime(0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1998));
?>
