Thanks for your help, i've gathered to build on your advice and come up with something that works for what i want to accomplish:

Code:
 wc -l test;  awk -F , '{if ($4 > "09:10:00") print $2 " was late on", $3 " by coming at ",$4}' test

Output:
Code:
       7 test
01368 was late on 2010-12-02 by coming at  10:54:00
01368 was late on 2010-12-02 by coming at  13:07:04
01368 was late on 2010-12-02 by coming at  18:54:01
01368 was late on 2010-12-03 by coming at  13:53:00
01368 was late on 2010-12-03 by coming at  16:07:00

Though the problem with the above output, is that it checks every date/ line with 2010-12-03 instead of just the first (earliest)

is there a way to take the earliest time (according to date) or take the first line sorted by the date field?

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_installcligac

DH_INSTALLCLIGAC(1)				Debhelper for CLI (Common Language Infrastructure)			       DH_INSTALLCLIGAC(1)

NAME

       dh_installcligac - register assemblies to be late installed into a GAC

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installcligac [debhelper options] [-n]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installcligac is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing assemblies and related files used by the Debian cli-common
       package into GAC of all installed runtimes.

       It also automatically generates the postinst and prerm commands needed to late install the assemblies. See dh_installdeb(1) for an
       explanation of how this works.

       This is based on dh_installemacsen(1) in the emacsen-common package.

OPTIONS

       -n, --noscripts
	   Do not modify postinst/prerm scripts.

NOTES

       Note that this command is not idempotent. "dh_clean -k" should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause
       multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of cli-common-dev.
