On Solaris, without stat, how to check how old a file is?
Hi,
How do I check how old a file is? That is, is it 1 day old, 1 year old, generated x hours ago?
Currently, I receive a supposed to be daily report and in the last few times, it has not been recent, that is instead of the one generated for the day, it is one that was created yesterday or older.
I want to write a script to be able to check how old a file is or when it was generated. I am doing the check at the moment using ls -l and comparing the date to today's date. Alternatively, as a workaround I am telling the user to put a date timestamp on the file and I check that timestamp in the file.
Any advice will be much appreciated. Thanks.

NAME
holidays - prime/nonprime table for the accounting system
SYNOPSIS
/etc/acct/holidays
DESCRIPTION
The /etc/acct/holidays file specifies prime time hours and holidays. Holidays and weekends are considered 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 of:
current_year prime_start non_prime_start
Specify prime_start and non_prime_start times in the range of 0000 to 2400.
The remaining non-comment lines define the holidays in the form of:
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 every year.
