If you mean stuff gets appended to the file or not, then you should try below code. It works by reading the file size, sleeping 30 min, reading the file size again and comparing the two values.
Quote:
not modified
It's also quite possible that the content of a file is changed, but the file size remains the same.
Obviously, in this case you cannot rely on the file size and should compare the modification times.
The code below can be easily adapted to do so.
Hint: You use the %Y format sequence in the stat command instead of %s (Check man stat or stat --help for details)
Code:
#!/bin/bash
fileloc="/tmp"
filename="test.txt"
fullpath="$fileloc"/"$filename"
interval=1800 # seconds (30 minutes)
if [ -f "$fullpath" ]; then
echo "File Exists"
size=$(stat -c'%s' "$fullpath")
# infinite loop
while true; do
sleep $interval
newsize=$(stat -c'%s' "$fullpath")
if [ $size -ne $newsize ]; then
echo "Sending mail."
printf "Size of %s changed.
Size 30 minutes ago: %d bytes.
Current size: %d bytes." "$fullpath" "$size" "$newsize" |\
mailx -s "Size changed!" someone@example.net
size=$newsize
fi
done
else
echo "File not exist"
fi
