HI,

I have wrote a script which reads in a file that has a list of files within it.

The script then searches the directory for these files and when found will output to an email with a layout table indicating the date of the file and an ok status if the file = todays date if not a waiting appears. (it is to show the recipient that they need to chase for the waiting files).

two of the files are todays date - jkl.csv and stu.txt the rest are either blank or not todays date.

The problem i have is that i cannot get the waiting / ok to work. The script below is outputting all files to warning when in fact all should be warning except jkl.csv and stu.txt???

script is:

#!/bin/ksh
