thats a good idea i will do that. Abou tthe time calcuations, do you have any idea how i should do this
In the code i am taking the time used in the ls -l command for that file and I am writing the time to a file, so when another file comes through it will overwrite the old time. So my issue is when no files comes for an hour I want it send an email
So would it be $time2 - $time1 = $b
if $b is greater than 60 mins then send email
How would i do this part?

difftime
DIFFTIME(3) Linux Programmer's Manual DIFFTIME(3)
NAME
difftime - calculate time difference
SYNOPSIS
#include <time.h>
double difftime(time_t time1, time_t time0);
DESCRIPTION
The difftime() function returns the number of seconds elapsed between time time1 and time time0, represented as a double. Each of the
times is specified in calendar time, which means its value is a measurement (in seconds) relative to the Epoch, 1970-01-01 00:00:00 +0000
(UTC).
CONFORMING TO
SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89, C99.
NOTES
On a POSIX system, time_t is an arithmetic type, and one could just define
#define difftime(t1,t0) (double)(t1 - t0)
when the possible overflow in the subtraction is not a concern.
