Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting script to check for existence of file (or else sleep for x time) Post 302508574 by pchang on Monday 28th of March 2011 01:10:48 PM

Thanks for your quick reply.

After I removed the ']]' from the ARR syntax, I'm still getting the same error -

0403-057 Syntax error at line 29 : `(' is not expected.

See my code below:

Code:
# Setup working variables
source_directory="$1"
src_list_files="$2"
sleep_time=$3
 
while read source_file G
do
 
  # Insert all entries into an array.  If there's more than one that's not an error.
  ARR=( "${UPLD_DIR_BASE}${source_directory}/${source_file}"*[0-9]*.[dD][aA][tT]* )
 
  while [[ -z "${ARR[0]}" ]]
  do
     echo "No match for ${UPLD_DIR_BASE}${source_directory}/${source_file}*[0-9]*.[dD][aA][tT]*"
 
     # Sleep for x amount of time
     sleep $sleep_time
 
     ARR=( "${UPLD_DIR_BASE}${source_directory}/${source_file}"*[0-9]*.[dD][aA][tT]* )

  done
 
done < "${UPLDSH_DIR}/${src_list_files}"

Also I wasn't clear on my first posting, basically, script should check for existence of file(s) and if not there go to sleep for x mins.

After x mins, the script should terminate.

thanks for helping out a fellow Canadian/Torontonian. Smilie

NAME
Error Helper Functions - OpenSSL Error Match globus_bool_t globus_error_match_openssl_error (globus_object_t *error, unsigned long library, unsigned long function, unsigned long reason) Wrap OpenSSL Error globus_object_t * globus_error_wrap_openssl_error (globus_module_descriptor_t *base_source, int error_type, const char *source_file, const char *source_func, int source_line, const char *format,...) Detailed Description Utility functions that deal with Globus OpenSSL Error objects. This section defines utility function for Globus OpenSSL Error objects. Function Documentation globus_bool_t globus_error_match_openssl_error (globus_object_t *error, unsigned longlibrary, unsigned longfunction, unsigned longreason) Check whether the error originated from a specific library, from a specific function and is of a specific type. This function checks whether the error or any of it's causative errors originated from a specific library, specific function and is of a specific type. Parameters: error The error object for which to perform the check library The library to check for function The function to check for reason The type to check for Returns: GLOBUS_TRUE - the error matched GLOBUS_FALSE - the error failed to match globus_object_t* globus_error_wrap_openssl_error (globus_module_descriptor_t *base_source, interror_type, const char *source_file, const char *source_func, intsource_line, const char *format, ...) Wrap the OpenSSL error and create a wrapped globus error object from the error. This function gets all the openssl errors from the error list, and chains them using the globus error string object. The resulting globus error object is a wrapper to the openssl error at the end of the chain. Parameters: base_source The module that the error was generated from error_type The type of error encapsulating the openssl error source_file Name of file. Use __FILE__ source_func Name of function. Use _globus_func_name and declare your func with GlobusFuncName(<name>) source_line Line number. Use __LINE__ format format string for the description of the error entry point where the openssl error occurred, should be followed by parameters to fill the format string (like in printf). Returns: The globus error object. A globus_result_t object can be created using the globus_error_put function See also: globus_error_put() Author Generated automatically by Doxygen for globus gsi openssl error from the source code.
