Thanks to Peter Gergen, Stan Robinson, Bob Vickers, Harm Ensing, Oisin
McGuiness, alan@nabeth.cxo.cpqcorp.net & Jerome M Berkman for their
suggestions
The solution I went with was the simplest:
file1_date=`ls -al file1_full_path |awk '{print $7" "$6" "$8}'`
file2_date=`ls -al file2_full_path |awk '{print $7" "$6" "$8}'`
if [ $file1_date = $file_date2 ]
then
echo "file dates are the same"
else
echo "file dates are not the same"
fi
but I was provided with other solutions in perl & C that uses the stat
system call.
thanks again

Subject: Compare file dates
Hi there,
Does anyone know how I would compare the date/timestamp of two files to see
whether they matched or not?
thanks in advance
