Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi ...

Is there a possibility that timings from two files be compared??

If i have a set of files in a folder and i want to get the files only upto a particular time.
eg:
If i have the files

staff 2388 Oct 3 04:33 x.ksh
staff 3628 Oct 3 06:57 1.ksh
staff 32383 Oct 3 06:57 files
staff 280365 Oct 3 06:57 bakup
staff 140770 Oct 3 20:54 satsub1
staff 123000 Oct 3 20:58 satsub2

I want the list of files which are present before or equal to time 20:54

Is that possible with time???

thanks,

Code:

touch -t 200810032054 dummy
find /path/to/files -type f ! -newer dummy -exec ls -l {} \;
rm -f dummy

put a timestamp on a dummy file, use that file with ! -newer - meaning "not" newer or older in a find command. If you have a file already has the correct timestamp you do not need to touch a dummy file
