title: Unix script to compare a timestamp with current time
body: <p>This is my first journey into the realm of Unix scripting and I'm not sure how to go about this.  Ill be querying a DB and pulling out a timestamp.  What I need to do is take that timestamp (in the awesome format of <code>YYYYMMDDHHMMSS</code>) and if its more than 10 minutes old, return a 1 else return 0.</p>
  
  <p>Again, I have essentially 0 experience with this type of scripting (background is in C++ and C#) so if you guys don't mind a little more explanation I'd be grateful - I want to learn how it works too.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
