If I understand you correctly you have a Unix box to which another node is ftp'ing files regularly. You have a process on this Unix box which needs to read these files but not the one's already processed. I assume that you can process these files in the chronological order that they are received in????? If so, here's another option......
At the end of your processing job you put the command:
to create a file at the time of the process run called "timestamp".
At the start of the job you put:
to only select files created (ftp'd onto the box) since the last run finished.
That way, all the historical files can be left in the directory and not be selected for processing.
The above assumes that I have completely understood you but, if not, do post back the issues.
I need to find files that have the ending of .out and that are older than 20 days. However, I cannot use find as I do not want to search in the directories that are underneath the directory that I am searching in.
How can this be done?? Find returns files that I do not want. (2 Replies)
