Calculate age of a file | calculate time difference
Hello,
I'm trying to create a shell script (#!/bin/sh) which should tell me the age of a file in minutes...
I have a process, which delivers me all 15 minutes a new file and I want to have a monitoring script, which sends me an email, if the present file is older than 20 minutes.
To do so, I have created two variables:
Now, I could calculate: echo $CURRTIME - $FILETIME | bc
But it doesnt calculate it as time... 1305-1255 gives me 50 and not 10 minutes.
How can I calculate with time?
Thanks for your help!
Best regards
Rolf
