    Is it possible to script this function? I would like to get the date of a file on a remote node ( with rsh ) and compare it to the date of a file on the local box. If its newer than the local file then do something if not do something else...kind of thing.

    without having to do something like: rsh nf1n01en1 ls -l /mksysb_dir/bos.obj.nf1n01en1.31Jul03| awk '{print $6 $7}'

    which returns: Jul31

    is there a command that can get the date of a file and return it in numeric form or something?
