[OPEN-ILS-DEV] check_null patch

[Don McMorris]

Thanks Thomas.  It looks like you hit a number of the changes I've
been wanting to do.  A bit of history of that script... I developed it
very early on in my experience, and didn't have much familiarity with
the 'date' command (ex: blah minutes ago).

I'll get this tested ASAP, and when I find it to work I'll update the
file in the ILS-Contrib/ESI-Examples repo.

Thanks!
