Monitoring for specific date stamped files before and after midnight
Hi Guys,
I am having a brain freeze....
I want to monitor a directory for a time stamped file on a sol 10 system in bash or ksh, the files will come in looking like this..
randomfile.DDMMYY.rpt
The problem i am having is the file can come in before or after midnight, the file will come in with the pre midnight date even if it comes in after mid night but i can't think what variable to use as my date, e.g
if i use
DAY=`TZ=CST+24 date '+%d%m%y'` this works fine if the script runs after midnight, but if its before midnight it's looking for the wrong date...and i need this script to monitor before and after midnight for specific files.......also there are older versions of up to 7 days of the files i'm looking for.
I'm guessing i need to some how check the time to use what variable to use? I'm sure there has to be a better way to do it.
Any suggestions would help.....in my head this seems so easy to do, but my brain is sat in the corner reading the paper giving me rude hand gestures.

weather::com::dayforecast
Weather::Com::DayForecast(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Weather::Com::DayForecast(3pm)
NAME
Weather::Com::DayForecast - class representing a forecast for one day
SYNOPSIS
[...]
my @locations = $weather_finder->find('Heidelberg');
my $forecast = $locations[0]->forecast();
my $tomorrow = $forecast->day(1);
print "Forecast for tomorrow:
";
print " - tomorrow it's the ", $tomorrow->date()->date(), "
";
print " - sunrise will be at ", $tomorrow->sunrise()->time(), "
";
print " - maximum temperature will be ", $tomorrow->high(), "
";
DESCRIPTION
Via Weather::Com::DayForecast objects one can access the weather forecast for one specific day.
This class will not be updated automatically with each call to one of its methods. You need to call a method of your Weather::Com::Forecast
object to get updated objects.
CONSTRUCTOR
You usually would not construct an object of this class yourself. This is implicitely done when you call the "day(number of day)" or the
"all()" method of a Weather::Com::Forecast object.
METHODS
date()
Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the date the forecast is for.
high()
Returns the maximum temperature that will be reached at daytime.
For day 0 (today), this will be 'N/A' when it's after noon...
There is a bug in weather.com's date and time mathematics: If you are asking for a location's forecast day 0 and it's short after midnight,
day 0 will be "yesterday" and you'll get both, yesterday's daytime forecast and night forecast!
I have not investigated this issue further, yet. If anyone has, please inform me!
low()
Returns the minimum temperature that will be reached at night.
sunrise()
Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the time of sunrise.
sunset()
Returns a Weather::Com::DateTime object containing the time of sunset.
day()
Returns a Weather::Com::DayPart object with all data belonging to the daytime.
For day 0 (today), this will be "undef" when it's after noon...
