Take action only if a file is X hours (or seconds) old
shell: #!/bin/ash
I searched and found a few relevant posts (here and here - both by porter, on the same day (?)) however both are just a do while loop, I need to check a file date and compare it to the current time.
I would like it to say if file 'test' is more than 12 hours old than "right now" to echo back "file is stale" else echo "file is ok". I was thinking I could get the "unix time" of the file and just subtract them, but honestly I have no idea how to get the unix time of a file (much less in a script)
concept:
I'm sure there is a better/easier way to do this... Thanks all!

timetrans - Converts time into time
SYNOPSIS
timetrans [units-options] [-count]
DESCRIPTION
timetrans converts time from one type of unit to another. If any of the units options are specified, then timetrans will convert those
time units into the number of seconds to which they add up. If given the count option, timetrans will convert that number of seconds into
the appropriate number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The converted result is printed out. Units options cannot be
specified in the same execution as the count option, and vice versa.
timetrans is intended for use with DNSSEC-Tools, for calculating a zone's expiration time.
OPTIONS
Units Options
The converted value of each unit is totaled and a single result printed.
-seconds seconds
Count of seconds to convert to seconds.
-minutes minutes
Count of minutes to convert to seconds.
-hours hours
Count of hours to convert to seconds.
-days days
Count of days to convert to seconds.
-weeks weeks
Count of weeks to convert to seconds.
Count Option
The specified seconds count is converted to the appropriate number of weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds.
-count seconds
Count of seconds to convert to the appropriate set of units.
Other Options
timetrans has the following miscellaneous options.
-Version
Displays the version information for timetrans and the DNSSEC-Tools package.

8888888
Example 6: Converting 720000 seconds into time units
