Great tins brethren...

Kindly post the script, or an extract thereof... so we can see what you've done so far. That way it's easier to post suggestions or pointers...

I will however suggest you familiarise yourself with the 'date' command... that way you can simply do a something like this:

Code:
compare_date=`date | awk '{print $2" "$3" "$4}'`

the output should be something like this:

May 6 11:27:20 (you can use sed to remove ":20"

then do a listing for all *.XML files in that directory:

Code:
file_timestamp=`ls -ltr *.XML| awk '{print $6" "$7" "$8}'`

using the two variables returned... you can use some arithmetic, and do a subtraction, to compare the timestamp of the last file generated, to the current time (you can use an if statement for this).

What OS would you like to do this on?

irsend [options] DIRECTIVE REMOTE CODE [CODE...] DESCRIPTION
Asks the lircd daemon to send one or more CIR (Consumer Infra-Red) commands. This is intended for remote control of electronic devices such as TV boxes, HiFi sets, etc. DIRECTIVE can be: SEND_ONCE - send CODE [CODE ...] once SEND_START - start repeating CODE SEND_STOP - stop repeating CODE LIST - list configured remote items SET_TRANSMITTERS - set transmitters NUM [NUM ...] SIMULATE - simulate IR event REMOTE is the name of a remote, as described in the lircd configuration file. CODE is the name of a remote control key of REMOTE, as it appears in the lircd configuration file. NUM is the transmitter number of the hardware device. For the LIST DIRECTIVE, REMOTE and/or CODE can be empty: LIST "" "" - list all configured remote names LIST REMOTE "" - list all codes of REMOTE LIST REMOTE CODE - list only CODE of REMOTE The SIMULATE command only works if it has been explicitly enabled in lircd. -h --help display usage summary -v --version display version -d --device use given lircd socket [/var/run/lirc/lircd] -a --address=host[:port] connect to lircd at this address -# --count=n send command n times EXAMPLES
