Help with Shell Script automation
can someone look into this one please... I am struck at this point. I do not know what logic to be followed here. I can go ahead with my work only, if this step is done. Please Help.

I have a process X in a shell script. Once the process X is done, it generates a log file. Process X is basically a java application. We cannot assume how much time would be required for the process X to be completed once it is kicked off..

The shell script looks something like this:

Code:
date_current=`date +%m%d%y`

java -Xms512m -Xmx512m com.mainloader.databaseLoader S 12 F > file.log.$date1

I should write a shell script "Y" in such a manner, that my shell script "Y" should be able to
1. check as and when the log file from the process X is created.
2. once the log file is created, my script "Y" should be able to move the created log file to a different directory.

that is my script Y should automatically move the newly created log files to a different directory, immediately after the log file is created. I am not able to understand the logic here.

AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)						    Miscellanea 						 AMANDA-SCRIPTS(7)

NAME

       amanda-scripts - Configuring and using the Script API

DESCRIPTION

       The Script API is a flexible system for invoking user-supplied scripts at various points in the execution of Amanda. This manual page
       describes the operation and configuration of the API. For help writing Script API scripts, see http://wiki.zmanda.com/index.php/Script_API.

SCRIPTS

       This section lists the scripts included with Amanda, see the individual man page for instructions on using them. For complete How-To
       information, consult the Amanda wiki at http://wiki.zmanda.com.

       o   amzfs-snapshot(8), - create/destroy zfs snapshot.

       o   script-email(8), - send email.

       Script properties work just like application properties: they are insensitive to case, and - (dash) and _ (underscore) may be used
       interchangeably.

SCRIPTS OUTPUT PROPERTY

       A pre-dle-amcheck, pre-dle-estimate or pre-dle-backup executed on the client can output property on stdout that are sent to the
       application. If the output line matches "PROPERTY str1 str2", Amanda sets a property called "str1" by the value of "str2", that property is
       sent to the application.
