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

trcs

trcs(1) 							   User Manuals 							   trcs(1)

NAME

       trcs - convert text files from one codeset to other

SYNOPSIS

       trcs -C | -l | -h

       trcs [-s] [-f input-codeset ] [-t output-codeset ] [ file ]...

DESCRIPTION

       trcs  is a program for translation of text files from one codeset to other.  When exact translation is impossible it tries to make approxi-
       mations.  For example pseudographic characters are approximated by ASCII characters in codesets that have no pseudographic  characters  and
       characters with diacritical marks are approximated by existing characters.

       If the option -s or --gen-script is given trcs will generate simple script that invokes tr(1) This is useful if you want to include this in
       your script or for faster conversion of many files.

       If none of -C, -s, -l, -h and their equivalents is given each file will be read assuming it is coded with codeset input-codeset On standard
       output  it will be recoded so to use codeset output-codeset If there is no file given trcs will act as filter.  Both input-codeset and out-
       put-codeset are case insensitive and default to `cp1251'.

OPTIONS

       -C, --copyright
	      Display copying conditions and warranty information.

       -s, --gen-script
	      Generates conversion script for given input and output encodings instead to convert text files.

       -l, --list
	      List all known codesets with their aliases.

       -h, --help
	      Display this help and exit.

       -f input-codeset, --from[=]input-codeset
	      Codeset of the source.

       -f output-codeset, --to[=]output-codeset
	      Codeset of the output.

EXAMPLES

       trcs -fcyrillic -t koi8-r letter.txt
	      Convert letter.txt from ISO-8859-5 (cyrillic) to KOI8-R and output the result on standard output.

       trcs --from cp437 --to=mik --gen-script >ibm2mik
	      Generates script ibm2mik for converting from CP437 to MIK.

       sh ibm2mik screen.txt
	      Convert screen.txt from CP437 to MIK.  Output the result on standard output.  Without parameters ibm2mik acts as filter.
