SFTP script
Actually I'm on AIX. Here's a general algorithm on what i'm trying to do.
first_time = true
while /usr/bin/true
do
if first_time ()
ftp get file,
name it as file_1
first_time=false
sleep 100
else
get file, name it as file_2
file_2_size =ls -l | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f5
file_1_size =ls -l | tr -s " " | cut -d" " -f5
if file_2_size == file_1_size
then
exit loop
else (if file_2.size > file_1.size then
copy file_1 = file_2
sleep 100
fi
fi
done
I guess I need this transalated to unix format. Thanks for the help.

Actually this is a second option, if somehow I can do the sleep on the remote server and check the file sizes (before and after) then that should be better than downloading the files to the client and doing the compare.
Thanks -Neel

rpdump(1) General Commands Manual rpdump(1)
NAME
rpdump - alpine remote data utility
SYNTAX
rpdump [ -f ] -l Local_file -r Remote_folder
DESCRIPTION
Rpdump may be used to copy the actual data from remote Alpine configuration files or address books into a local file. It is intended to be
used by system administrators. Regular users should normally use the facilities provided within Alpine.
Local_file will normally be a local temporary file. Remote_folder is the IMAP folder being used as a remote Alpine configuration (with the
help of Alpine's -P, -p, and -x commands or PINECONF, PINERC, and PINERCEX environment variables) or remote Alpine address book folder. A
copy of the data from Remote_folder will be copied to Local_file.
-f Force the dump even if the remote folder is in an unrecognized format.
-l Local_file The file on this system that is to be copied to.
-r Remote_folder A remote folder name to be copied from. See the Alpine documentation for the syntax of a remote folder name. One
example is
{my.imap.server}remote_pinerc.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is zero if all goes well, -1 otherwise.
