Thanks.
I might help if you explained what you are trying to do.

If a file is older than another file, perform some actions?

you could use the -nt or -ot for conditional expressions, i.e.
#file exist?if [ -f $1 ]; then if [ $1 -nt somefilename ]; then #file is newer(based on modification date) than somefilename fifiJanuary 16, 2005 05:52 PM
Oh WOW, simply amazing. Thanks :D. Didn't know that kind of stuff would be built into sh.
