Help With Constructing A Korn Shell Search Loop
Hello All,
I am a statistician and I am very new to the world of ksh programming. Daily, I analyze millions of rows of data and land information to DB2 tables. I have recently been asked to develop a ksh script to FTP an export file containing line item data from the production environment to the test environment. I have been able to construct the ksh code to initiate the ftp and to initiate the change of directories to the designated mount point (a directory) in my test environment. The issue that I am having is constructing a loop to do the following:
· To initiate a search that scans the mount point (a directory) in the test environment for files with a specified extension (such as exp.load).
· If the extension is found, I want the loop to wait a specified period and then scan for the file extension again.
· I want the loop to continue for five rotations of the specified time interval and if the file is still contained in the mount point to end the Ftp process.
· If the specified file extension is not found I want the ftp command (put) to begin for the designated file and once finished to terminate the ftp process.
Any help that you can give me will be apperciated. Thank you for your time.

set_color
set_color(1) fish set_color(1)
NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color
set_color - set the terminal color
Synopsis
set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR]
Description
Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple,
cyan, white and normal.
o -b, --background Set the background color
o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names
o -h, --help Display help message and exit
o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode
o -u, --underline Set underlined mode
o -v, --version Display version and exit
Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal.
Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey
font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color.
Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator.
set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and
incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of
ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue.
