Full Discussion: waiting for the files untill they loads
Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting waiting for the files untill they loads Post 302523945 by rbatte1 on Friday 20th of May 2011 10:50:26 AM

It would be best if your sender could include a flag to say that they were all delivered, i.e. create a zero or one byte file called *.todays_date.complete

That way you would have the confidence that the inbound ftp had completed without error (assuming that the sender does not send the 'complete' file as a separate transfer without checking for errors) which is better than just using fuser to check if the file is open.

If you know you need 39 files and they all come from different transfers, you may have to just script up something like this:-
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
cd /stage_area/loadfiles/telsims/test

todays_date=`date +%Y_%m_%d`   # Assuming that this is the format you want
until [ `ls -1 *.${todays_date}.complete | wc -l` -eq 39 ]
do
     sleep 10
done

echo "All files arrived.  Continuing with main processing."



Does that help?

vacation

VACATION(1)						      General Commands Manual						       VACATION(1)

NAME

       vacation - return ``I am on vacation'' indication

SYNOPSIS

       vacation -I
       vacation user

DESCRIPTION

       Vacation returns a message to the sender of a message telling that you are on vacation.	The intended use is in a .forward file.  For exam-
       ple, your .forward file might have:

	    eric, "|vacation eric"

       which would send messages to you (assuming your login name was eric) and send a message back to the sender.

       Vacation expects a file .vacation.msg in your home directory containing a message to be sent back to each sender.  It should be	an  entire
       message (including headers).  For example, it might say:

	    From: eric@ucbmonet.Berkeley.EDU (Eric Allman)
	    Subject: I am on vacation
	    Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: the Vacation program

	    I am on vacation until July 22.  If you have something urgent,
	    please contact Joe Kalash <kalash@ucbingres.Berkeley.EDU>.
		 --eric

       This  message  will  only  be  sent  once a week to each unique sender.	The people who have sent you messages are kept in the files .vaca-
       tion.pag and .vacation.dir in your home directory.  The -I option initializes these files, and should be executed before  you  modify  your
       .forward file.

       If  the	-I  flag  is  not specified, vacation reads the first line from the standard input for a UNIX-style ``From'' line to determine the
       sender.	If this is not present, a nasty diagnostic is produced.  Sendmail(8) includes the ``From'' line automatically.

       No message is sent if the initial ``From'' line includes the string ``-REQUEST@'' or if a ``Precedence: bulk'' or ``Precedence: junk'' line
       is included in the header.
