A couple of things:

First of all, this:

Code:
FNAMETMP=/usr/bin/find $MAINDIR -name *.txt -newer $FILECOMP 2>>$LOGDIR

Will not work.
I think what you want is:

Code:
/usr/bin/find $MAINDIR -name *.txt -newer $FILECOMP | head -1 | read FNAMETMP
echo $FNAMETMP


Secondly, it's better to redirect all LOGGING commands all at once.
There's a variety of ways to do this.... however, my preferred way
is through a subshell and redirection. It's simple and straightforward:

Code:
(
date
echo some other commands
echo more commands
echo etc...
date
) > LOG 2>&1

This way, you don't clutter up code with a bunch of ">> $LOGFILE" stuff.
Plus, you save stdout and stderr in one fell swoop and cannot lose anything.

I don't understand why you'd want to clobber a bunch of *.txt files with *.csv
files in this way....

it seems to me that this:

Code:
(
find $MAINDIR -name \*.csv -print |
while read file_nm ; do

  ### change csv to txt
  tmp=${file_nm%.csv}.txt

  ### remove directory name ( like basename )
  new_file_nm=${tmp##*/}

  mv $file_nm archive/$new_file_nm

  scp archive/$new_file_nm $SCPINFO

done
) > $LOGFILE 2>&1

... is what you're looking for.

It finds a bunch of *.csv files.
Moves them to an archive directory as *.txt files.
Then scp's them over to somewhere else.
And stores any error messages in a log file.

processcsv.py

PROCESSCSV.PY(1)					      Virtualization Support						  PROCESSCSV.PY(1)

NAME

       processcsv.py - process virt-top CSV files

SUMMARY

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

DESCRIPTION

       virt-top is a top(1)-like utility for showing stats of virtualized domains.

       processcsv.py is a simple Python script that post-processes the output of "virt-top --csv".

       It is used like this:

	virt-top --csv data.csv
	processcsv.py < data.csv

       The second command will overwrite the following files in the current directory:

       "global.csv"
	   This contains the global (host) statistics columns from the CSV file.

       "domainNN.csv" (multiple files)
	   For each libvirt domain ID NN, a file is created containing the per-domain statistics from the CSV file.
