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
