Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Check if file got created in less than 10 hrs Post 302934636 by RudiC on Monday 9th of February 2015 01:43:52 PM

Do you insist on ksh (which would surprise me as your var4 is being filled from SQL, which certainly is an overkill at this point) ?

Two pointers into sort of solutions:
- Calculate your 10h back time from SQL as well; assign to another var.
- use the shell's builtin printf with the %(%s)T format specifier to get the actual system time (not sure if that works in ksh; it does in bash), subtract 36000 and use that for time comparisons.

NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell SYNOPSIS
sh times ksh times DESCRIPTION
sh Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell. ksh Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell. On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways: 1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes. 2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments. 3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort. 4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari- able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not performed. ATTRIBUTES
