Waiting for wildcard filename to exists in while loop
Hi Experts,
We are developing a script which will wait for the trigger file(with datetime in the trigger file name).
But the problem is when I use 'while' loop to wait for the file, it waits for the filename with wilcard in it that is wait for 'Trigger*.done' file.
Below is the script
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
path="/home/user/"
triggerfile="Trigger*.done"
counter=0
max_counter=12
actualfile=${path}${triggerfile}
while [ ! -f ${actualfile} ]; do
let counter=counter+1
if [ $counter -ge $max_counter ]
then
echo "email reached max counter"
else
sleep 5
fi
done
This script works when I touch 'Trigger*.done' file in the source. Is there anyway to loop until the filename(with wildcard character) exists?

I'm sure this is by design, but using something like
for f in dir/*
do echo $f
done
produces unexpected (to me) results if run against an empty directory. I'd have expected it to not execute the loop, but it actually calls it with f set to 'dir/*'.
Now I know that I'm trying to protect... (2 Replies)

Hi,
I have a variable returned from Oracle SQL Function which holds file names.

mojo::ioloop::delay
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mojo::IOLoop::Delay(3pm)NAME
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay - Synchronize events
SYNOPSIS
use Mojo::IOLoop::Delay;
# Synchronize multiple events
my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop::Delay->new;
$delay->on(finish => sub { say 'BOOM!' });
for my $i (1 .. 10) {
$delay->begin;
Mojo::IOLoop->timer($i => sub {
say 10 - $i;
$delay->end;
});
}
# Wait for events if necessary
$delay->wait unless Mojo::IOLoop->is_running;
DESCRIPTION
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay synchronizes events for Mojo::IOLoop.
EVENTS
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay can emit the following events.
"finish"
$delay->on(finish => sub {
my $delay = shift;
...
});
Emitted safely once the active event counter reaches zero.
ATTRIBUTES
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay implements the following attributes.
"ioloop"
my $ioloop = $delay->ioloop;
$delay = $delay->ioloop(Mojo::IOLoop->new);
Loop object to control, defaults to the global Mojo::IOLoop singleton.
METHODS
Mojo::IOLoop::Delay inherits all methods from Mojo::EventEmitter and implements the following new ones.
"begin"
my $cb = $delay->begin;
Increment active event counter, the returned callback can be used instead of "end".
my $delay = Mojo::IOLoop->delay;
Mojo::UserAgent->new->get('mojolicio.us' => $delay->begin);
my $tx = $delay->wait;
"end"
$delay->end;
$delay->end(@args);
Decrement active event counter.
"wait"
my @args = $delay->wait;
Start "ioloop" and stop it again once the "finish" event gets emitted, only works when "ioloop" is not running already.
# Use the "finish" event to synchronize portably
$delay->on(finish => sub {
my ($delay, @args) = @_;
...
});
$delay->wait unless $delay->ioloop->is_running;
