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

sleep

SLEEP(1)						    BSD General Commands Manual 						  SLEEP(1)

NAME

     sleep -- suspend execution for an interval of time

SYNOPSIS

     sleep seconds

DESCRIPTION

     The sleep command suspends execution for a minimum of seconds.

     If the sleep command receives a signal, it takes the standard action.

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

     The SIGALRM signal is not handled specially by this implementation.

     The sleep command will accept and honor a non-integer number of specified seconds (with a '.' character as a decimal point).  This is a non-
     portable extension, and its use will nearly guarantee that a shell script will not execute properly on another system.

EXAMPLES

     To schedule the execution of a command for x number seconds later (with csh(1)):

	   (sleep 1800; sh command_file >& errors)&

     This incantation would wait a half hour before running the script command_file.  (See the at(1) utility.)

     To reiteratively run a command (with the csh(1)):

	   while (1)
		   if (! -r zzz.rawdata) then
			   sleep 300
		   else
			   foreach i (`ls *.rawdata`)
				   sleep 70
				   awk -f collapse_data $i >> results
			   end
			   break
		   endif
	   end

     The scenario for a script such as this might be: a program currently running is taking longer than expected to process a series of files, and
     it would be nice to have another program start processing the files created by the first program as soon as it is finished (when zzz.rawdata
     is created).  The script checks every five minutes for the file zzz.rawdata, when the file is found, then another portion processing is done
     courteously by sleeping for 70 seconds in between each awk job.

DIAGNOSTICS

     The sleep utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     nanosleep(2), sleep(3)

STANDARDS

     The sleep command is expected to be IEEE Std 1003.2 (``POSIX.2'') compatible.

HISTORY

     A sleep command appeared in Version 4 AT&T UNIX.

BSD
								  April 18, 1994							       BSD
