Below is the full script

Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
#
#   mksysb.ksh      verifies that current mksysb images are being maintained by the two mksysb (NIM) hosts,
#                   one in the DC1 and anohter in the DC2.   The program reads the available mksysb images
#                   from both hosts along with the date they were created.   Converts the creation time into
#                   a quasi-julian calendar format for comparision the current date.   Any mksysb image less
#                   than three days old is considered "current".   Older images are considered "stale".   Any
#                   system belonging to the Unix Operation team from which a mksysb can not be found is
#                   considered "missing".   
#
# while true; do                               # end-less loop - can be removed in favor of a cron entry
Month=`date|cut -c5-7`                         # break current date - "Wed Sep 23 16:33:34 EDT 2015"
