exit out of a while loop with error
im running a while loop as a file watcher, with incremental counter on the retries..however when the retries reach it's limit i want it exit and echo and error and stop the batch. Im not sure the code i have will do that already...
Here is what i have that works:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
count=0
while [ $count -lt 3 ]
do
count=`expr $count + 1`
echo "Try $count"
RUNDATE=`date "+%h%e"`
filedate=`xyz.txt | awk '{print $6,$7}`
if [ "$Spotfiledate" != "$RUNDATE" ]
then
echo "File's date is $Spotfiledate and today's date is $RUNDATE. They don't match"
echo "I will sleep 30 seconds and try again; 3 tries is my limit"
sleep 30
else echo "Today's file $Spotfiledate is now in."
echo "Sleeping 30 secs to allow it to process."
sleep 30
break
fi
done

EVSIGNAL(3) 1 EVSIGNAL(3)
The EvSignal class
INTRODUCTION
EvSignal watchers will trigger an event when the process receives a specific signal one or more times. Even though signals are very asyn-
chronous, libev will try its best to deliver signals synchronously, i.e. as part of the normal event processing, like any other event.
There is no limit for the number of watchers for the same signal, but only within the same loop, i.e. one can watch for SIGINT in the
default loop and for SIGIO in another loop, but it is not allowed to watch for SIGINT in both the default loop and another loop at the same
time. At the moment, SIGCHLD is permanently tied to the default loop.
If possible and supported, libev will install its handlers with SA_RESTART (or equivalent) behaviour enabled, so system calls should not
be unduly interrupted. In case of a problem with system calls getting interrupted by signals, all the signals can be blocked in an EvCheck
watcher and unblocked in a EvPrepare watcher.
