the script1.sh is given below


#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

spawn /usr/bin/scp export1.txt ***@ipaddress:/location

expect {
"*password:*" { send $password\r\n; interact }
eof { exit }

}
exit
"
/export/home/netcool/rohith/script.sh
rm -rf export1.txt

echo
done

LATEST="$i"
SENDHB=false
else
trace "No new alarm files to import"
SENDHB=true
fi

trace "Latest alarm file imported: $LATEST"

#
# If the latest file sent still exists then find newer files, otherwise find all files
if [ -f "$LATEST" ]
then
FILES="`find $ALARM_FILES_DIR -newer $LATEST -type f`"
else
FILES="`find $ALARM_FILES_DIR -type f`"
fi
# Modify sleep time (in seconds) as needed below
sleep 2

done
