Shell script to check for a Occurance

Hi All, I am very new to this forum and Unix too...
I need to create a script which has to check for a file's occurrence in a specified location for 4 hours and send out a email when ever the file has arrived.
It should also have a timer to send the status message for every 15 minutes if the file is not received.
Kindly request your help; I was able to complete till below:
Thanks,
=====================================
Code:
if [ ! -s /file_path/file_name* ];
then
echo "\n file is not available in /file_path folder \n
\n Regards" | mailx -s "file not received" @userid.com
else
echo "\n file is available in /file_path folder \n
\n Regards" | mailx -s "file arrived" @userid.com

=====================================

NAME
script-email - Amanda script to send email notifications DESCRIPTION
script-email is an Amanda script implementing the Script API. It should not be run by users directly. It sends a notification email to the addresses specified in the MAILTO property. PROPERTIES
This section lists the properties that control script-email's functionality. See amanda-scripts(7) for information on the Script API, script configuration. MAILTO List of email addresses that will receive an email on command execution. It is a multi-valued property: property "MAILTO" "amanda@domain.com" "sysadmin@domain.com" "amandauser@domain.com" EXAMPLE
In this example, script-email is scheduled to be run before the DLE, on the server. The unqualified email address amanda will be passed to the email system unchanged. The script is then attached to a dumptype, which can then be specified for any DLEs which require notification. define script-tool pre-email { comment "email me before this DLE is backed up" plugin "script-email" execute-on pre-dle-backup execute-where server property "mailto" "amanda" } define dumptype user-tar-email { user-tar script "pre-email" } SEE ALSO
