Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Finding a file delivery time and sending it as an email Post 302354129 by rajasinn on Thursday 17th of September 2009 07:16:35 AM

Thanks Anchal.. i think i wasnt clear earlier. An approximate time would be enough to capture. The problem is i would like to capture the details of the file which is delivered today, because the directory could contain files with older date which isnt necessary.

So logic should be something like

1) search for filename with pattern "XXX_YYY_ZZZ" since this kind of files are delivered on a daily basis. The filename will contain some characters after this pattern.
2) Check if the file is delivered today(current day)
3) If 1 & 2 are yes then the current time should be captured along with the file name.
4) Mail to someone@domain.com

Regards

RaJ

NAME
calendar - reminder service SYNOPSIS
calendar [ - ] DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the line. Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'. On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday. When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi- tive results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8). FILES
calendar /usr/lib/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates /etc/passwd /tmp/cal* egrep, sed, mail subprocesses SEE ALSO
at(1), cron(8), mail(1) BUGS
Your calendar must be public information for you to get reminder service. Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays. CALENDAR(1)
