How to get timestamp of file into ksh script
Hi -
I need to run a script via cron which will do some ldapsearches. One of the search parameters will be modifytimestamp.
I need to have some way of storing the timestamp of the last time the script ran, and then retrieving that timestamp to use in the ldapsearch command (i.e. modifytimestamp >= retrieved_ts) for when the script next runs.
Any suggestions please? I guess I could "touch" a file as a marker before and after executing the ldapsearch but I am not sure how to get the timestamp of the file into the ldapsearch query.
Cheers
