Is there a simple script which can check if a particular file has been updated on a give day.

I have written the following script is there any other way to do the same.

#!/usr/bin/ksh

   stamp=`ls -l $filename | awk '$7 ~ /.*:.*/ {print $5$6}'`
   today=`date | awk '{print $2$3}'`
   if [ "$stamp" != "$today" ]; then
      ..........
      ...........
      ...........
   fi


Thanks
