Calculate time stamp difference
Hi All,
I am new to shell scripting.I have to write a shell script for the problem statement:
"A file is updated continously. If it is not updated for a day then an error message needs to pop up."
So the script needs to read the last modified time of that file and current system time .If the difference is more than 1 day then error message needs to be displayed.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Bharath

motd.tail
MOTD.TAIL(5) Debian Administrator's Manual MOTD.TAIL(5)
NAME
motd.tail - Template for building the system message of the day
DESCRIPTION
On Debian systems, the system message of the day is rebuilt at each startup, in order to display an accurate information. /etc/motd.tail is
the file to edit permanent changes to the message of the day.
OVERVIEW
The initiation script /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh prepends a line containing information about the system to /etc/motd.tail and stores the
resulting file in /var/run/motd. /etc/motd is a symbolic link to /var/run/motd. This is done to prevent changes to /etc as the system can
not assume /etc to be writable.
Changes to /etc/motd effectively end up in a file under /var/run which will be regenerated upon reboot.
A symbolic link to a different file, such as /etc/motd.static disables this behaviour.
FILES
