I'm looking for help with writing a korn script that will take an
output (either cat or placed into a file) of different times, compare
them, and then report a difference of more than 3 minutes.
Thanks in advance!

Assuming your "time" format is "seconds since the epoch" and they're one
per line, all you need is:
awk '(NR > 1) && ($0 - prev > 180);{prev=$0}' file
If you have different requirements, tell us what they are, provide
sample input and expected output, and show us what you've tried so far.
