need help doing a script to monitor if files are go through
I am trying to do a shell script to check a folder and see if files are passing through.

Now if a file did not pass through in the last 1 hour send an email.


ftp----------> folder to monitor ----------->ftp

Now the script that moves the file runs every sec in cron, so i do not know if i could list it to get the info. Should i write to a file?
This is what i came up with so far


Code:
#Set the path to the folder to monitor
SUBJECT="DWH FILES WERE NOT SENT IN THE LAST HOUR"
FILE1="/home/tibco/javastuff/test/dwh*"


cd /home/tibco/javastuff/test/

###### Run list command
ls -l
time=`echo $line | awk '{ split($8,a,":"); print (a[1]*60)+a[2] }'`
FILEMATCH=`echo $line | awk '{ print $9 }'`


if [ $FILE1 = $FILEMATCH ]
  then
     echo "$time" > dwhtime.txt

     else
echo running else statement
######## Run date command ##########
date
  time2=`echo $line | awk '{ split($4,a,":"); print (a[1]*60)+a[2] }'`
        if [ $time2 -gt $time ]
           then
           mail -s "$SUBJECT" testemail <<EOF
          $SUBJECT
          $time
EOF
        fi

fi

I am not sure whatt to do from here?

Could somebody help me out please.

rmf

rmf(1mh)																  rmf(1mh)

Name
       rmf - remove folder

Syntax
       rmf [ +folder ] [ -help ] [ -[no]interactive ]

Description
       The  command  removes all of the messages within the current folder, and then removes the folder itself.  If there are any files within the
       folder which are not part of MH, they are not removed, and an error message is displayed.

       You can specify a folder other than the current folder by using the +folder argument.  If you do not specify a folder, and cannot find  the
       current folder, asks you whether you want to delete instead.

       If the current folder is removed, it makes current.

       Note that the command irreversibly deletes messages that do not have other links, so use it with caution.

       If  the folder being removed is a sub-folder, the parent folder becomes the new current folder, and tells you that this has happened.  This
       provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list  and  returning  to  the  current
       folder from which the list was extracted.

       Using to delete a read-only folder deletes the private sequence and current message information from the file, without affecting the folder
       itself.	If you have sub-folders within a folder, you must delete all the sub-folders before you can delete the folder itself.

Options
       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -interactive
       -nointeractive
		 Asks for confirmation before deleting a folder.  By default, deletes a folder and its messages without asking	for  confirmation.
		 If  you  specify  the	-interactive option, asks if you are sure before deleting the folder.  You are advised to use this option,
		 since when deletes a folder its contents are lost irretrievably.

Examples
       This example shows how asks for confirmation when the -interactive option is used:
       % rmf -interactive +test
       Remove folder "test"? y
