[SOLVED] Comparison of timestamp on ftp
Hello

Need help with shell script

There is are files on my ftp. They overwriting every hour from other places.

Code:
ls -la /home/ftp/
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp nogroup    2296 2012-08-11 12:59 G1.zip
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp nogroup    6676 2012-08-11 13:00 KRT1.zip
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp nogroup    5169 2012-08-11 13:00 N1.zip
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp nogroup     634 2012-08-11 13:05 ND1.zip
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp nogroup    5410 2012-08-11 13:00 P1.zip
-rw-r--r--  1 ftp nogroup   16216 2012-08-11 13:00 U1.zip

Need to control time of overwriting and if file is updated too late then mail to root.

This script are working, but it not display filename.

Code:
!/bin/bash
if [[ $(find /home/ftp/*1.zip -mmin +20) ]]; then
   mail -s "ALARM" root
fi

Please use find correctly: find /home/ftp -iname \*.zip ...
Don't expect any output from find inside the conditional expression.
find will return exit code 0 even if no files were found, so check your logics.

You probably mean something like this:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
find /home/ftp -type f - name \*1\.zip -mmin +20 | while read filename
do
       echo "FTP file than 20 mins: ${filename}"|mail -s "ALARM" root
done

There are several things wrong with the original script apart from the strange find command.
The leading hash character on the shebang line is missing.
There is no piped input to the mail command (it would have failed).
