1) I have this folder1 containing all the files which must land on folder2 on a daily basis.

2) If a file is present in folder1 but not in folder2,then a email must be sent to me saying which file is missing in folder2.

for instance,

Folder 1 has(it has some 103 files to be precise)

aaa
bbb
ccc
ddd
ccc
eee
fff

folder2 has(the same file name but with a daily time stamp attached to it.So need to remove this date portion and then compare the files in folder2 with files in folder1

aaa.03082007
bbb.03082007
ccc.03082007
ddd.03082007


So the script must inform me that eee and fff files are missing...

I want this whole process to be inside a loop and somewhat automated so that i dont have to run the script daily manually.
Code:
is_file()
{
    for f
    do
       [ -f "$f" ] && return
    done
    return 1
}

cd Directory1
for file in *
do
   is_file "Directory2/$file"* || printf "%s not found\n" "$file"
done

To run it regularly, put the script in a cron job.

NAME
Ns_AbsoluteUrl, Ns_ParseUrl, Ns_RelativeUrl, Ns_SkipUrl - URL manipulation routines SYNOPSIS
#include "ns.h" int Ns_AbsoluteUrl(Ns_DString *pds, char *url, char *baseurl) int Ns_ParseUrl(char *url, char **pprotocol, char **phost, char **pport, char **ppath, char **ptail) char * Ns_RelativeUrl(char *url, char *location) char * Ns_SkipUrl(Ns_Request *request, int n) _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
Ns_AbsoluteUrl(pds, url, baseurl) Construct an URL based on baseurl but with as many parts of the incomplete url as possible. Return NS_OK or NS_ERROR. Ns_ParseUrl(url, pprotocol, phost, pport, ppath, ptail) Parse a URL into its component parts. Pointers to the protocol, host, port, path, and "tail" (last path element) will be set by ref- erence in the passed-in pointers. The passed-in url will be modified. Ns_RelativeUrl(url, location) If the url passed in is for this server, then the initial part of the URL is stripped off. e.g., on a server whose location is http://www.foo.com, Ns_RelativeUrl of "http://www.foo.com/hello" will return "/hello". Returns a pointer to the beginning of the relative url in the passed-in url, or NULL if error. Will set errno on error. Ns_SkipUrl(request, n) Return a pointer n elements into the request's url.
