Time Manipulation in shell script
Hi all,
I have a script that requires time comparisons and sending out an email alert only if the specified interval has been completed. The script runs in Cron tab every 5 mins.
For ex: If the interval is set to 2 hrs (Dynamic & varies )
My script should execute and if it finds any error conditions during the execution, It will page an alert. In the next cycle if the script finds the same error, It should not page error mail again. ie., It should page only after the above mentioned 2 hrs.
I used GAWK-Strftime function to achieve this. But later came to know the package has restrictions and should not be used in my server.
Is there a way this can be achieved with any of the Solaris inbuilt utilities or functions ?
Please help !!

WEDGED(8C) WEDGED(8C)
NAME
wedged - HylaFAX modem wedged script
SYNOPSIS
/var/spool/fax/bin/wedged devid device
DESCRIPTION
bin/wedged is the command script invoked by the facsimile server when a modem is deemed to be in an irreparable state and requires operator
intervention. This decision is based on the setting of the MaxSetupAttempts configuration parameter described in hylafax-config(5F). The
default wedged script sends electronic mail to the FaxMaster alias. The interval at which emails are sent can be configured in the
etc/FaxDispatch file by setting the WEDGED_EMAIL_INTERVAL variable to the desired number of minutes (emails will be sent no more than every
WEDGED_EMAIL_INTERVAL minutes, until the wedged condition persists). If the variable WEDGED_DISABLE_FAXGETTY is set in etc/FaxDispatch
then the script will attempt to disable any faxgetty processes spawned by the init(8C) process for the problematic modem. In addition the
faxq(8C) process automatically disables use of the modem for servicing outbound jobs.
The devid argument is the identifier derived from the name of the modem's device file by substituting ``_'' characters for ``/'' charac-
ters; e.g. term_10 for /dev/term/10. The device argument is the name of the character special device associated with the modem.
If there exists an executable file /var/spool/fax/etc/resetmodem then that file will be executed upon execution of the wedged script in an
effort to recover the modem.
