Ignoring files that are currently being produced
Hi!
Letīs say I want copy dump-files to a location.
These dump-files vary between 80 and 280MB and will be produced in about 1min or less.
I have a cronjob which (not only) copies those.
So how can I find out whether a file is currently produced or not?
Because if my script works with these files the dumping process is interrupted and the file is corrupt.
Any help is appreciated.
thx

cr_verify
cr_verify(3) Library Functions Manual cr_verify(3)
NAME
cr_verify - verify integrity of crash dump
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
uncompresses and verifies the sizes and checksums of every file in the crash dump identified by crash_cb.
flags is a bitmask of zero or more of the following flag values:
will not attempt to verify checksums of files in the crash
dump if this flag is set. Only sizes will be verified.
will write messages to stderr during time-consuming operations
(decompressions and checksums) if this flag is set.
will write messages to stderr describing any validation problems
that are encountered. If this flag is set, should not be called when returns; repeated error messages would result.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero for success. Other possible return values are described in libcrash(5).
EXAMPLES
The following call to cr_verify(3) verifies the integrity of the dump.
WARNINGS
Because it uncompresses and checksums all files in a dump, can be very time-consuming. If was not specified, the calling application
should notify its user before calling that there may be a significant delay.
