cp * ${DIR}/Mon/
echo "Files of Monday are Copied"
fi

Hello Rohit,

Following may help you, but try the same in non live environment before using this into live environment as this is not tested.

Code:
cat test.ksh
check_directories() {
for i in $1
do
        if [[ -e $i ]]
        then
                cd ${DIR}/Mon/loaded
                echo "copying files to $GRS_DIR"
                cp * ${DIR}/Mon/
                echo "Files of Monday are Copied"
        fi
done
}
for i in $DIR/Mon/*
do
        check_directories $i
done

This is a function based script. Please let us know if you have any queries.


Thanks,
R. Singh

$DIR/tue/loaded
$DIR/wed/loaded

Hello Rohit,

You can use following.

Code:
cat test.ksh
check_directories() {
for i in $1
do
        if [[ -e $i ]]
        then
                cd ${DIR}/Mon/loaded
                echo "copying files to $GRS_DIR"
                cp * ${DIR}/Mon/
                echo "Files of Monday are Copied"
        fi
done
}
for i in $DIR/*
do
        check_directories $i
done

Thanks,
R. Singh
