Maybe it would be easier to just write/append the timestamp to a file and read the last entry from that? I just feel there has to be a neater way of doing this!
How do I get the timestamp in the format I want from something like :
ls -l $FILE | awk '{sub(/:/,"",$8);print $8}' ?
what you can possibly do is ..in you ldap script, before it completes successfully, touch the logfile so tht the file will have the latest timestamp (you can write sme msg to the logfile)
then use
lastrun=`ls -l --time-style='full-iso' add | awk '{s=$6$7;gsub(/[:-]/,"",s);print substr(s,1,14)}' `
now=$(echo `date +"%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`)
then compare the above two variable
if [[ $now < $lastrun ]]; then
echo "Greater"
else
echo "Lower"
fi

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));
?>
