Hi,
Iam relatively new to Shell scripting.
............
.........
Cur_log_file=`ls -lrt LOGFILE* | grep 'Jun 30' | tail -1`
...............
..................
Iam trying to find some log file name to check their status, using above script line.
If the log file is not avaible then rest of the programs are not getting executed. I want to continue the program even if the log file not exist.

Thanks in advance.

from the script it seems that you are taking the most recent file modified on jun 30.but how this is stoping other programs to run is not clear i assume that execution of other script is dependent on "Cur_log_file".

You need to elaborate how other program runs.....

Yes Dhruva.
Execution of other script is dependent on "Cur_log_file" such log file status, run date and order date etc.,
Cur_log_file is current log file.
Iam using while loop to find all jobs log status, if 'ls -lrt' failed to find "Cur_log_file" then it is displaying error message saying
"No such file or directory" and process is hanging.

Thanks for your concern,

Lokesha

Hi Lokesha, You can try with this script.first you check that if the Cur_log_file contains the file and not the "no such file or directory" err message.So if that file exist then in IF statement use the script which checks your current log status run date and order date etc.,



Cur_log_file=`ls -lrt LOGFILE* | grep 'Jun 30' | tail -1`
file_name=`echo $Cur_log_file | awk'{print $9}'`
if [ -f $file_name ] then
use your script after this if statement...........
