Have you tried what I've suggested in my earlier post?
Ah ok! You had modified the previous post and I don't see the code.
Now it working fine. BTW, I'm used asterisk because under LOG directory there is the SYNC directory, so I've to use * to take only .DAT files! Smilie

Just another question, if the file doesn't exists I need to show it and then copy to SYNC dir (so next time will not be shown). How can I add the copy command to the following line?
Code:
[[ -e /log/sync/${FILE##*/} ]] || echo "$FILE" > /tmp/DAT.tmp
