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.Smilie

Thanks,
Bharath

NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file describes which hours are considered prime time and which days are holidays. Holidays and weekends are con- sidered non-prime time hours. /etc/acct/holidays is used by the accounting system. All lines beginning with an "*" are comments. The /etc/acct/holidays file consists of two sections. The first non-comment line defines the current year and the start time of prime and non-prime time hours, in the form: current_year prime_start non_prime_start The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form: month/day company_holiday Of these two fields, only the month/day is actually used by the accounting system programs. The /etc/acct/holidays file must be updated each year. EXAMPLES
