It's really the same concept... just pass the entire pattern instead of just the date.

check20.sh:

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
myfilepattern=$1
integer filecount=0
for file in $myfilepattern; do
  filecount=$filecount+1
done

if (( $filecount == 20 )); then
  exit 0
else
  exit 1
fi

Syntax:

check20.sh BARE01_DLY_???_20060803
check20.sh BARE02_DLY_???_20060803
check20.sh BARE01_DLY_???_20060720
etc.
