Using
stat -f "%m%t%Sm %N" /Volumes/Temporary\ Drive/tmp/* | sort -rn | head -1
returns the last file to be modified and its date. That looks like an ideal candidate to go in Kaydell's script to compare against the current time.

Here's the scenario: a Mac with a hard drive is partitioned into two volumes, one of which is the startup drive (Macintosh HD). The second volume (Temporary Drive) holds data files which are non-critical. I'd like to compose an AppleScript that compares (running at startup, through a login item) the current date to the modification date of the second volume, and erases the second volume if the modification date is more than a day (or 24 hours, or whatever measure of time necessary) older than the current date. Is this easily accomplished through AppleScript? (Running 10.8.4.)
Thanks!
Jim
