How can I convert a date that is a string such as "12/12/03" to apoch so that I can then compare it to time and if its <= time do something. I can't give code because this is still a concept.
But the check is that cron will scan a directory hourly or daily. Parse the filenames which are going to be formatted vendorcode-date.csv If date <= to current date then call a script that runs an update against some proprietary accounting software that we have.
