@vipin kumar
If you can't use stat command try this

Code:
FILE=test.txt
if [[ ! -f $FILE ]]
then
echo $FILE not exists
else
N=$(find . ! -name . -prune -name $FILE -mtime +2|wc -l)
if [[ $N -eq 0 ]]
then
echo $FILE is updated
else
echo $FILE is older
fi
fi


for existing file this code worked..but when i created new file say vip.txt...thn its showing file not exists instead it shud show that vip.txt is updated bcoz it has been created or modified today not 2 days back..

in short,
if sysdate=27 march 2013
and file date=25 march 2012 or older than that thn it will show not updated else updated.

This does NOT work with /usr/bin/printf, only the builtin version!

To be more precise:

Code:
$ ls -l x
-rw-r--r--. 1 hergp rzadmin 255 Mar 27 09:17 x
$ printf "%(%s)T\n" "$(ls -l x | awk '{ print $6, $7, $8 }')"

Its showing ()T as an ouptut
