Grep lines between last hour timestamp and current timestamp

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

So basically I have a log file and each line in this log file starts with a timestamp:

MON DD HH:MM:SS
SEP 15 07:30:01

I need to grep all the lines between last hour timestamp and current timestamp. Then these lines will be moved to a tmp file from which I will grep for particular strings.

The issue I'm having, is with timestamp conversion and how to grep last hour timestamp in that format.

Using: Solaris 11
Thanks
