find files older than 30mins,count and send mail
Hi all,

I wrote this script to find files older than time parameter, count the number of files, and send an email to me that some files are in a particular folder. For the particular path, the script should wait delay parameter before running again.

For example, assuming the input file looks like this

20 A/B/ 5m
10 C/D 4m

The script changes dir to A/B, finds all files older than 20mins,counts them and sends an email to me.It then waits 5minutes before running again.It, however,keeps running to process the second path (C/D). It only waits if it found files older than the time parameter, otherwise it does nothing.It waits only for the path if found files, otherwise it keeps processing other paths.

I wrote something like this but doesnt seem to work

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
#The filepathinput format is 30 /A/B/C/gunner 10m
while read AGE PATH DELAY
do
  cd $PATH
  for file in $(ls)
  
      do [[ $(( $(./fileage $file)/60)) -ge $AGE ]]     
       echo $file >>outputfiles.txt
      done
    
    final=`wc -l outputfiles.txt|awk '{print $1}'`
    if $final -ge 1
    then
    echo $final|mailx -s "Unprocessed Files in blabla" gunner.love@henry.com    
    else
      echo "Everything's OK"
    fi
    rm -f outputfiles.txt
    sleep $DELAY
    
  cd -
done < filepathinput.txt

Please advise.

Thank you

sendfiles

SENDFILES(1)							     [nmh-1.5]							      SENDFILES(1)

NAME

       sendfiles - send multiple files via a MIME message

SYNOPSIS

       sendfiles [delay] mailpath subject file1 [file2 ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The shell script sendfiles, is used to send a collection of files and directories via electronic mail.

	    sendfiles mailpath "subject" files ...

       sendfiles will archive the files and directories you name with the tar command, and then mail the compressed archive to the "mailpath" with
       the given "subject".  The archive will be automatically split up into as many messages as necessary in order to get past most mailers.

       Sometimes you want sendfiles to pause after posting a partial message.  This is usually the case when you are running sendmail  and  expect
       to  generate  a lot of partial messages.  If the first argument given to sendfiles starts with a dash, then it is interpreted as the number
       of seconds to pause in between postings, e.g.,

	    sendfiles -30 mailpath "subject" files ...

       will pause 30 seconds in between each posting.

   Extracting the Received Files
       When these messages are received, invoke mhstore once for the list of messages.	The default is for mhstore to store the combined parts	as
       a  new  message	in the current folder, although this can be changed using storage formatting strings.  You can then use mhlist to find out
       what's inside; possibly followed by mhstore again to write the archive to a file where you can subsequently uncompress and untar  it.   For
       instance:

	    % mhlist 5-8
	     msg part  type/subtype		size description
	       5       message/partial		 47K part 1 of 4
	       6       message/partial		 47K part 2 of 4
	       7       message/partial		 47K part 3 of 4
	       8       message/partial		 18K part 4 of 4
	    % mhstore 5-8
	    reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
	    % mhlist -verbose 9
	     msg part  type/subtype		size description
	       9       application/octet-stream 118K
			 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
			 type=tar
			 conversions=compress
	    % mhstore 9
	    % uncompress < 9.tar.Z | tar xvpf -

       Alternately, by using the -auto switch, mhstore will automatically do the extraction for you:

	    % mhlist 5-8
	     msg part  type/subtype		size description
	       5       message/partial		 47K part 1 of 4
	       6       message/partial		 47K part 2 of 4
	       7       message/partial		 47K part 3 of 4
	       8       message/partial		 18K part 4 of 4
	    % mhstore 5-8
	    reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
	    % mhlist -verbose 9
	     msg part  type/subtype		size description
	       9       application/octet-stream 118K
			 (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
			 type=tar
			 conversions=compress
	    % mhstore -auto 9
	    -- tar listing appears here as files are extracted

       As the second tar listing is generated, the files are extracted.  A prudent user will never put -auto in the .mh_profile file.  The correct
       procedure is to first use mhlist to find out what will be extracted.  Then mhstore can be invoked with -auto to perform the extraction.

FILES

       $HOME/.mh_profile	  The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
