Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

I'm writing some start of day checks for my work. I want to check some dirs for files that have been created longer than 10 mins ago and not been transfered. I've already used a find command to write a list of files that meet this criteria to a log called sod.log
i.e.

Code:

/filetransfer/dir1/outgoing/B84743
/filetransfer/dir2/outgoing/B84743
/filetransfer/dir3/outgoing/B84743

I'm now updating the script that writes the output to the screen if such files exist.

I thought something like this would work but It does not seem to

Code:

for outgo in dir1 dir2 dir3 dir4
do
awk '/outgoing/ && /'"$outgo"'/ {print $0} sod.log || grep -q "$outgo" || print file in outgoing dir $outgo please check.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Phil.

I'm not sure what out you want or what your requirements are. Kinda vague.

This does what you seem to want

Code:

find /filetransfer/dir*/outgoing -mmin +10 |
while read fname
do
     echo "Please check file in outgoing directory: $(dirname $(dirname $fname)) "
done > sort -u
