Need Script to check file exist and compare

rbknisely · #1 (**permalink**) 01-15-2008

I need a script that will check for the existence of new files that FTP'd in the morning, results go to log file. The 2nd step is to compare the new file with the previous days file. If the new file size is 30% or more smaller in size then previous day this needs to also be sent to log.

This could also be completed in one step, if the script attempts to do the file size comparison and the file doesn't exist then provide error to log.

This is on Sun Server.
