Hi gacanepa ,

Thanks for your mail...Your assumption is correct.
Point 4 and 5 are correct ... to make it simple, we may increase the number of destination folder in future in number of files arrives in folder A are more. and script should be smart enough for it, we can paremetrize it...This is for UNIX box and shell script....

What i have been thinking....

Count the number of files in folder A,

run through loop on count...and check if destination folder is blank, if yes, move the file...
and exit whatever come first, loop ends if number of files less than destination folder or if more try loop once again and exit....

i am not written any shell script so will share once i write something...any help will be highly appreciated....
