Since they're YYYY-MM-DD strings, you could also just compare them as strings.
You must put quotes around < > etc. or they will be taken as redirection operators.
That will work with some shells (and with some versions of the stand-alone
/[ utilities), but the only string comparison operators defined for test in the standards are = and !=.
We know that the submitter is using /bin/sh, but that isn't enough to know what operating system is being used nor what shell has been designated as /bin/sh on the submitter's system.
