Hi ,

I am writing a script to more the last file (output file) in the specified directory.

Things have to be considered is, the output file written has the time of the file been executed. So i cant seem to more the file by just the hour as thr could be more than 1 file within the same hour.

my script:

dir=/opt/SMAW/INTP/bin

$dir/./sm_tool.sh countRows <--- this line will generate an output to read from. this is a dev script so i wont be able to modify it.

more getRows.info-`date '+%d_%m_%y_%H:%M:%S'` | grep 'SAR' | awk -F" " '$3!=0' | grep -v " versionized" >>
/export/home/rtp99/Tariff


output directory:
