while loop in shell scripting
Thanks a lot for all ur replies.
Is there a way to change the code for my below requirement?
The code which i specified in the last post has initial count of the files in the dir.But the files get on decreasing after some time and atlast become 0.
But the while loop does not ge executed since the count is never 0 rather it has the initial count.
The loop shld continuously chk for the count and when it is 0 the statements shld be executed.
How will i keep track of the count ie ls = 0 of the dir.
Can someone please help me out soon....
