Question Looking out for the file-watcher
Hi friends,

I do not have much thoughts so need any help on the below issue:

I need to create shell script that will find the files & throw an error through job (autosys) when file not found.
Daily we use to receive 3 files from a system.

Obstacles:

1) All 3 files names are same.
2) Timestamp is same.
3) Even the received time may be same
Thats why got stuck.
Script which I have created:

Code:
first_time_stamp=`ls -l/apps/rdp/prd/prd1/interfaces/auto/input/archive/*tri003_global*20130131* | awk '{print $8}' | sed -n '1p'`
sec_time_stamp=`ls -l /apps/rdp/prd/prd1/interfaces/auto/input/archive/*tri003_global*20130131* | awk '{print $8}' | sed -n '2p'`
third_time_stamp=`ls -l /apps/rdp/prd/prd1/interfaces/auto/input/archive/*tri003_global*20130131* | awk '{print $8}' | sed -n '3p'`

if[ $first_time_stamp -eq $sec_time_stamp ]; then
echo "Two files received at the same time"
elif [ $first_time_stamp -gt $sec_time_stamp && $third_time_stamp -gt $sec_time_stamp ]; then
echo "Three files reveived & time stamp's are different"
else
echo files are missing"
fi

My inner feeling is that the above script is not good to solve my pupose.

Script should be give this:

Code:
[first file not arrived]; then
contact upstream for the first file
[second file not arrived] then
contact upstream for the second file
[third file not arrived] then
contact upstream for the third file
else
echo "All looks good & all 3 files arrived"

Sample file name:

Code:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 32598 wmadmin 157335 Jan 31 13:10 tri003_global_201301310810_erd.txt-20130131131318
-rw-rw-r-- 1 32598 wmadmin 157334 Jan 31 15:31 tri003_global_201301311030_erd.txt-20130131153255
-rw-rw-r-- 1 32598 wmadmin 157368 Jan 31 18:24 tri003_global_201301311324_erd.txt-20130131182819

Really appreciate if someone can help me out here.

Thanks very much

rdup-up

RDUP-UP(1)							       rdup								RDUP-UP(1)

NAME

       rdup-up - update a directory tree with a rdup archive

SYNOPSIS

       rdup-up [OPTION]...  DIRECTORY

DESCRIPTION

       With rdup-up you can update an (possibly) existing directory structure with a rdup archive.

       The rdup archive has to be given to rdup-up's standard input.

   Username and uids
       rdup  outputs  both  the  username  and	uid, the receiving system (which may be a totally different system) checks if the username and uid
       match. If the username and uid don't match the (numeric) uid is used on the file. The same holds true for the groupname and gid.

OPTIONS

       -n     Do a dry-run and do not create anything on disk.

       -t     Create DIRECTORY (ala mkdir -p) if it does not exist.

       -s N   Strip N path components from a pathname. If the resulting pathname is empty after this operation it is skipped. Be  careful  however
	      with the following structure:

		  /foo
		  /foo/bar
		  /foo/bar/bla.txt
		  /foo/blork/bla.txt

	      With rdup-up -s2 this will leave:

		  <empty>
		  <empty>
		  /bla.txt
		  /bla.txt

	      And the last 'bla.txt' will overwrite the previous one, this will happen without warnings.

       -r PATH
	      This option is related to the -s option, but works different. The string PATH is removed from (the beginning of) each pathname. With
	      -r /home/backup the pathname /home/backup/bin/mycmd becomes /bin/mycmd. The same could be done with -s 2, but then you need to count
	      the slashes. Note -s is always performed before -r.

       -v     Be more verbose and echo the processed files to standard output.

       -vv    Be even more verbose and echo processed file and the uid and gid information to standard output.

       -T     Show  a  table  of  contents of the rdup stream received (ala tar -tf -).  With -T the directory argument is optional. -T unsets any
	      verbose (-v) options.

       -h     A short help message.

       -V     Show the version.

EXIT CODE

       rdup-up return a zero exit code on success, otherwise 1 is returned.
