I have an openwrt router (so no journalctl and only busybox commands), and would like to extract the logs from the last minute.

The logs are like this:

Tue Jun 3 11:06:43 2025 authpriv.info dropbear[7018]: Child connection from

Tue Jun 3 11:06:44 2025 authpriv.notice dropbear[7018]: Pubkey auth succeeded

And my problem is that it's not numeric... I can generate the date from which I want to extract:

date -d "@$(( $(date +%s) - 60 ))" +"%c"

Tue Jun 3 11:05:00 2025

But now I'm stuck on how to catch the rows that are after this date. Can anyone help me on this?
