Working with files that are named with a timestamp
So I have a script that runs an ls on a given directory and looks for files with a timestamp that has the current hour in it and then does work with the files that it discovers
This is then run as a cron at 58 after the hour. This has obvious implications if the user manages to generate data between hh:58:01 and HH:00:00. it was a small risk but a risk nonetheless. It only took them two weeks. So now I need to figure out how to search for $DATE -1 hour and run the cron based on that and it has me stumped...
I've looked at several of the previous posts and can't seem to find any that pertain to my problem, I'd appreciate some help if possible.
I have a directory with numerous logs of various names all named by heading and date ie.
dog.20050529.log
dog.20050530.log

Any ideas?

I need to be able to identify files with file timestamps greater than a given timestamp.
I am using the following solution, although it appears to compare files at the "seconds" granularity and I need it at the milliseconds. When I tested my solution, it missed files that had timestamps... (3 Replies)
