Hi all!!,
I'm using Ksh and working on Linux.
I want to compare two timestamps, timestamp1 and timestamp2.
Until, timestamp1 is lesser than timestamp2, i want to do something, lets say print something.
The code i have written is:
a=`date +%H:%M:%S`
b=`date +%H:%M:%S -d" 1 minute"`
echo $a
echo $b
while [ $a -le $b ];
do
echo "You have time"
a=`date +%H:%M:%S`
done
I tried executing this, but the output i get is :
03:55:57
03:56:57
date.sh: line 5: [: 03:55:57: integer expression expected
The problem is with the while loop condition.
Please help me on that.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!
