Hello.

I would like know how to do for know if a directory is more than 2 hours old or not, is for backups purposes.

If [ directoryismore than 2 hours old]

echo "old"
else

echo "pass"

fi


Thanks

Hi kokolisso,

you could play with `stat -c%Z` and `date +%s` to have the time elapsed since last change of the directory.
If the result of the two EPOCHs substraction is more than 7200, directory is old.
