Need to write a cron job(tcsh)....Help me out!!
The question I personally have is will it be possible to design the cron job according to this ‘wish list':

1)Every time cron starts (I mean files are found and processing begins) - email send to a user or to a group of users.
2)The job is divided into 2 separate parts, 2nd jobs starts only after first one has completed
a) All xxx, yyy and zzz(file names)
b) aaa and bbb files
3)At the end of an each job an email is sent to me &co, notifying that job completed.
4) If job fails for whatever reason an email is send to me &co with description (as useful as possible) with a problem.


Please help me...me new to scripting....'
thanks in advance...

NAME

       apticron - Generate a mail listing packages which are pending an upgrade

SYNOPSIS

       apticron [--cron]

DESCRIPTION

       apticron is a shell script which generates a mail with a list of all packages currently pending an upgrade, as well as summary of changes -
       using apt-listchanges - to a configurable Email address.

       apticron is mainly intended for automatic notification of pending security updates but can also be used	in  many  other  situations  where
       timely updates are necessary.

       The --cron option is only meant to be used when invoked by cron in order to run no more than once a day.

FILES

       /etc/apticron/apticron.conf
	      Configuration file, Email address to mail and profile for use with apt-listchanges are configurable.

       /etc/cron.d/apticron
	      Cron job for executing apticron daily.

       /etc/cron.daily/apticron
	      Fallback cron script for executing apticron (if no crond running or system down at designated time).

       /var/lib/misc/apticron.cron
	      Time stamp file used by apticron when invoked with --cron option.
