Hi guys - I am new to Unix and learning some basics. I have to create a report of files that are in a specific directory and I have to list filenames with specific titles. This report will be created everyday early in the morning, say at 05:00 AM. (see output file format below)
The 2 categories are determined by a particular timestamp 10:30 PM [in HH24:MI:SS format 22:30:00] for the previous day. If the file is recevied before this time, we have to process it, otherwise not process it. See below
