Issues with comparing 2 files timestamps
Hi,

Im trying to write a script to first check a directory and if the filename has "ACK" in it do nothing and exit but if it has "ORD" in the filename then compare it with a dummy file created 2 minutes previous and see which one is newer

Im getting a few errors which im unsure how to rectofy any help would be much appreciated

Code:
     1  #!/bin/bash 
     2  #This is a script to alert by email if we havn't received any responces from Sangers in the last 2 minutes
     3
     4  SD= /export/home/tjmoore/sangersdummy.log
     5  SL= /export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog.log
     6  SL1= /export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog1.log
     7  ORD= cat /export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog3.log
     8  SAF= /export/home/tjmoore/sangersalert.log
     9
    10  touch /export/home/tjmoore/sangersdummy.log
    11  echo "We have not received any responses from Sangers within the last 2 minutes" > /export/home/tjmoore/sangersalert.log
    12
    13  ls -t /apps/sangerstest | head -1 > /export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog.log
    14  echo "/apps/sangerstest/" > /export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog1.log
    15  paste -d '\0' $SL1 $SL > /export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog3.log
    16
    17  if grep "ORD.xml" $SL
    18  then
    19  if ls -t $SD $ORD | head -1 | grep "ORD.xml"
    20  then
    21  /usr/local/bds/mailsend.s mailx "Sangers Responses Alert" <email addres> <email address> /export/home/tjmo
ore/sangersalert.log
    22  else
    23  exit;
    24  fi

Errors im receiving are:

Code:
bash-3.00# /export/home/tjmoore/sangers_alert_test2
/export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog.log: line 1: Test: command not found
/export/home/tjmoore/sangerslog1.log: line 1: /apps/sangerstest/: is a directory
/export/home/tjmoore/sangersalert.log: line 1: We: command not found
