(o) (o) CmpDate 2.0 (19940304)
^
\_____/ by Stephen D Childers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Program Description:
1) This program is designed to work within script files, and is used
to compare the dates of files and dirs, and will return WARN if the
dates exceed a certain test condition; test conditions are set by
user options.
Program is basically a programmer's tool, for an example of usage
then see file 'create' which is within CapsLock program directory.
2) It can only be run from CLI. Can be made resident.
3) Program (when run from CLI) will interact with the 'c:Why' command
after program failures; this command may provide a more detailed
explanation of why the program failed.
The 'Why' command should be used immediately after a program
failure to extract the last program's result code, because
that result code is changed upon the execution of the next CLI
command.
4) Certain error reports will contain the name of the arg, file,
device, (etc) that is associated with failure when it occurs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CLI Usage:
Usage > CmpDate [!|?] [[-option] mainarg arg1 ... argn]
! = show author info
option: -n = if mainarg newer than arg1... then return( result )
-o = if mainarg older than arg1... then return( result )
-r = perform sub-directory recursion with arg1 ... argn
-w = return result WARN
-e = return result ERROR
-f = return result FAIL
mainarg = file or directory
arg1 - argn = files or directories
default options = ow
1) The mainarg can be a file or directory. And if a directory then
only the date of directory will be used for comparison and not the
date of directory contents.
2) The arg1 through argn can designate files or directories.
If directories are designated then the date of files and directories
within arg1...argn will be compared to mainarg.
Using option -r (recursion mode) will cause files within all
sub-directories to be compared, and only the file dates will be
compared, and the date of all sub-directories will be ignored.
