Thanks bakunin,

Actually files will be generated in time basis in the directory named "backup".
maximum file size is 10MB. if it reach 10MB it will write another file that i mentioned code below.

i want to write a program to check these files. whether these files are updating regularly or not. it should update regularly. if it is update regularly i need to print in echo " files are updating " ... if its not updating last 15 mins , i want to print in echo " files not updating"

Code:

r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000108 Aug 23 13:39 SCP_23_08_2010_13_31_19.log
-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000150 Aug 23 13:47 SCP_23_08_2010_13_39_20.log
-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000110 Aug 23 13:56 SCP_23_08_2010_13_47_38.log
-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000066 Aug 23 14:04 SCP_23_08_2010_13_56_04.log
-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000020 Aug 23 14:12 SCP_23_08_2010_14_04_24.log

-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000094 Aug 23 14:28 SCP_23_08_2010_14_20_32.log
-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr  10000227 Aug 23 14:36 SCP_23_08_2010_14_28_31.log
-r--r--r--   1 lscpusr  lscpusr   4150442 Aug 23 14:39 SCP_23_08_2010_14_36_32.log

pls look the bold marked timing in code.. i want to compare file time with system time.. basic thing in this directory is files will update till it reach 10MB. after tht i'll write another file. i want to compare system timing with latest file.

Hope you understand my requirement.

doveadm-log

DOVEADM-LOG(1)							      Dovecot							    DOVEADM-LOG(1)

NAME

       doveadm-log - Locate, test or reopen Dovecot's log files

SYNOPSIS

       doveadm [-Dv] log errors
       doveadm [-Dv] log find [directory]
       doveadm [-Dv] log reopen
       doveadm [-Dv] log test

DESCRIPTION

       The  doveadm  log commands are used to locate and reopen the log files of dovecot(1).  It's also possible to test the configured targets of
       the *log_path settings.

OPTIONS

       Global doveadm(1) options:

       -D     Enables verbosity and debug messages.

       -v     Enables verbosity, including progress counter.

COMMANDS

   log errors
       doveadm log errors

       The log errors command is used to show the last	- up to 1,000 - errors and warnings.  If no output is generated, no errors  have  occurred
       since the last start.

   log find
       doveadm log find [directory]

       The  log  find  command	is used to show the location of the log files, to which dovecot(1) sends its log messages.  If dovecot(1) logs its
       messages through syslogd(8) and doveadm(1) could not find any log files, you can specify the directory where your syslogd  writes  its  log
       files.

   log reopen
       doveadm log reopen

       This command causes doveadm to reopen all log files, configured in the log_path, info_log_path and debug_log_path settings.  These settings
       are configured in /etc/dovecot/conf.d/10-logging.conf.
       This is for example useful after manually rotating the log files.

   log test
       doveadm log test

       This command causes doveadm to write the message "This is Dovecot's priority log (timestamp)" to the configured log files.  The used prior-
       ities are: debug, info, warning, error and fatal.

EXAMPLE

       This example shows how to locate the log files used by dovecot(1).

       doveadm log find
       Looking for log files from /var/log
       Debug: /var/log/dovecot.debug
       Info: /var/log/mail.log
       Warning: /var/log/mail.log
       Error: /var/log/mail.log
       Fatal: /var/log/mail.log

REPORTING BUGS

       Report  bugs,  including doveconf -n output, to the Dovecot Mailing List <dovecot@dovecot.org>.	Information about reporting bugs is avail-
       able at: http://dovecot.org/bugreport.html
