I have a objective of Sending email if latest file in a directory(excluding files of sub-dirs) is older than 2 hours.
eg :
ls -ltr
drwx--x--x 2 abcde abc 256 2017-02-07 20:10 Mail
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abcde abc 1170 2017-02-24 17:30 test
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abcde abc 356 2017-03-09 18:00 xyz.csv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abcde abc 501 2017-03-09 18:05 abc2.csv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abcde abc 415 2017-03-09 18:06 abc.csv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abcde abc 34150 2017-03-09 18:39 test.csv
-rw-rw-r-- 1 abcde abc 119 2017-04-27 20:52 hotfix.ini
hotfix.ini is latest file in the directory, so I wish to compare the timestamp of this file with the current time of system and if file is older than 2+ hours then send mail with the time stamp of file:hotfix.ini
It will be mostly a shell script which will run in background every 5 mins and send mail only if latest file(based on timestamp) is older than 2 hours. else would go back to sleep again for 5 mins.
