@Don, I tried the script in the following way, but I am stuck in the middle part where I need to check the conditions for each request flag separately. Could you please help me out.

Code:
while [ 2 -ge 1 ]
do

        if [ -f /dir1/dir2/dir3/break.timx ]
        then
                echo "The Script is ending as a request has been made to break the script"
                exit $SUCCESS
        else
        req_file_list=`ls /dir1/dir2/dir3/ReqFiles`
                                echo $req_file_list

                        atleast_one_req_file_processed=0

        for req_file in $req_file_list
        do
                if [ $atleast_one_req_file_processed -eq 0 ]
                then
                        grep $req_file /dir1/dir2/dir3/flags_info.txt > /dir1/dir2/dir3/req_file_current_session.txt
		# /dir1/dir2/dir3/flags_info.txt is a fixed file and has all the information on the request flags and the conditions the script expects and should look on before placing the indicator/flag file. 
                        atleast_one_req_file_processed=`expr $atleast_one_req_file_processed + 1`
                        echo $atleast_one_req_file_processed
                else
                        grep $req_file /dir1/dir2/dir3/flags_info.txt >> /dir1/dir2/dir3/req_file_current_session.txt
                fi

        done
Stuck at this part, as I am not sure how to check conditions for each request file separately 
		sleep 300
        fi
done

Example of the /dir1/dir2/dir3/flags_info.txt is given below:

Code:
cat /dir1/dir2/dir3/flags_info.txt

request_flags|source_name|job_name|file_pattern|file_count|indicator_flag_file
req1.req|Sourcename1|jobname1|file_pattern_1|3|ind1.ind
req2.req|Sourcename2|jobname2|file_pattern_2|6|ind2.ind
req2.req|Sourcename2|jobname2|file_pattern_A|3|ind2.ind
req3.req|Sourcename3|jobname3|file_pattern_3|1|ind3.ind
req3.req|Sourcename3|jobname3|file_pattern_Z|1|ind3.ind
req4.req|Sourcename4|jobname4|file_pattern_4|28|ind4.ind
req5.req|Sourcename5|jobname5|file_pattern_5|4|ind5.ind

LEARN ABOUT SUSE

dh_installdebconf

DH_INSTALLDEBCONF(1)						     Debhelper						      DH_INSTALLDEBCONF(1)

NAME

       dh_installdebconf - install files used by debconf in package build directories

SYNOPSIS

       dh_installdebconf [debhelperoptions] [-n] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_installdebconf is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing files used by debconf into package build directories.

       It also automatically generates the postrm commands needed to interface with debconf. The commands are added to the maintainer scripts by
       dh_installdeb. See dh_installdeb(1) for an explanation of how that works.

       Note that if you use debconf, your package probably needs to depend on it (it will be added to ${misc:Depends} by this program).

       Note that for your config script to be called by dpkg, your postinst needs to source debconf's confmodule. dh_installdebconf does not
       install this statement into the postinst automatically as it is too hard to do it right.

FILES

       debian/package.config
	   This is the debconf config script, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.

	   Inside the script, the token #DEBHELPER# is replaced with shell script snippets generated by other debhelper commands.

       debian/package.templates
	   This is the debconf templates file, and is installed into the DEBIAN directory in the package build directory.

       debian/po/
	   If this directory is present, this program will automatically use po2debconf(1) to generate merged templates files that include the
	   translations from there.

	   For this to work, your package should build-depend on po-debconf.

OPTIONS

       -n, --no-scripts
	   Do not modify postrm script.

       -- params
	   Pass the params to po2debconf.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
