Hello Jim,

First of all thanks that finally you have replied to my post.
Now coming to my issue:

Lets say there are two server X1 and X2
1. server X1 has to login to server X2 through script. --- I know how to do this.
2. After reaching (cd /ab/bc/cd) to a specific path on X2 server, script has to search for specific files (say file1, file2, file3, file4 and file 5) --- I know how to do this.
3. My script which is placed on X1 is running through crontab at 10.00 AM. Now, if the files of current date is available on X2 server path, then my script will pick those and copy on server X1.
3.1 But in case, files of current date on server X2 are not avaialbe at 10.00 then my script will fail to pick the files from X2.
3.2 HERE IS MY REQUIREMENT: I want my script to check on server X2 for the availability of current date's files from schedule time 10.00 to 10.30 AM in every 5 minutes, if the files of current date is not avaialble on X2.
3.3 Anytime between 10.00 to 10.30 if files are arrived on X2, then my script should pick those and copy on X1. This should happen for all files (file1, file2, file3, file4 and file 5) on server X2.
3.4 BUT incase, if file never arrives until 10.30, then script should comeout of loop and fails it with an log entry "Waited for the files for 30 mins but bow is not avaialble.

HOPE above would help.

Thanks

BP_SEARCH2TRIBE(1p)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       BP_SEARCH2TRIBE(1p)

NAME

       search2tribe - Turn SearchIO parseable reports(s) into TRIBE matrix

SYNOPSIS

       Usage:
	 search2tribe [-o outputfile] [-f reportformat] [-w/--weight] file1 file2 ..

DESCRIPTION

       This script is probably too slow for most people's uses.  It is better to use something like scripts/searchio/fastam9_to_table, -m 9 output
       from BLAST, or the blast2table from the BLAST O'Reilly book to get a tabular output from these programs and then feed the table into MCL
       with the mcxdeblast script and the --m9 option.

       This script will turn a protein Search report (BLASTP, FASTP, SSEARCH) into a Markov Matrix for TribeMCL clustering.

       The options are:

	  -o filename	       - the output filename [default STDOUT]
	  -f format	       - search result format (blast, fasta)
				 (ssearch is fasta format). default is blast.
	  -w or --weight VALUE - Change the default weight for E(0.0) hits
				 to VALUE (default=200 (i.e. 1e-200) )
	  -h		       - this help menu

       Additionally specify the filenames you want to process on the command-line.  If no files are specified then STDIN input is assumed.  You
       specify this by doing: search2tribe < file1 file2 file3
