Loop through files in a directory
Hi,
I want to write bash script that will keep on looking for files in a directory and if any file exists, it processes them. I want it to be a background process, which keeps looking for files in a directory. Is there any way to do that in bash script? I can loop through all the files like this: for i in `ls -1 \dirname\*` do .... done I can make it an endless loop llike this while [ true ] do done Thanks for all you help. R |
