Hi cwu20,

Look at the man page for the stat command, i.e. run:
$ man stat

The stat command will dump the access and modified times of a file. You have to then figure out how to save the output and use it in a script to do the comparison. Hint: use a combination of |, grep, and awk, nawk, or gawk.
