Check latest file updates in directory on linux using bash shell scripting
You probably want the stat
command. Do man stat
to see how yours works. You want to look for "modtime" or "time of last data modification" option. For mine that would be stat -c%Y file
. Something like basemodtime=$(stat -c%Y file)
before the loop, modtime=$(stat -c%Y file)
after func2()
, and then if [ $modtime != $basemodtime ]; then
to detect "updated".
