#Al the directiory locations wil be mentinedin the first

# Trace output function
trace ()
{
if [ $TRACE ]
then
DATE=`date +"%Y-%m-%d %X"`
echo "$DATE: $1" >> $TRACEFILE
fi
}

trace "Script $0 started"

# First find all alarm files to import at start
FILES="`find $ALARM_FILES_DIR -type f`"

# Loop forever and import files
while [ true ]
do
loop=`expr $loop + 1`

# cat the files to a text file
if [ "$FILES" != "" ]
then
FILES_SORTED="`ls -rt $FILES`"
trace "Alarm files to import:\n$FILES_SORTED"

for i in $FILES_SORTED
do
cat $i>export1.txt

username=***
password=***

expect -c "
# exp_internal 1 # uncomment for debugging

"
/export/home/netcool/rohith/script.sh

echo
done

LATEST="$i"
SENDHB=false

#
# If the latest file sent still exists then find newer files, otherwise find all files
if [ -f "$LATEST" ]

installsieve

INSTALLSIEVE(1) 					      General Commands Manual						   INSTALLSIEVE(1)

 *

NAME

       installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts

SYNOPSIS

       installsieve

DESCRIPTION

       installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server.

OPTIONS

       -v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output.

       -l  List  all  of  the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active
       script.

       -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services.

       -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten.  Upon  sucessfully
       putting	the  script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since
       sieve names may not contain a '.'.

       -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option..

       -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>.

       -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen.

       -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already  exists  it	is
       overwritten.

       -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user.
