Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Will shell script executes in sequence Post 302934617 by rbatte1 on Monday 9th of February 2015 09:45:46 AM

Several issues here:-
  • When will files be arriving? You might not have a complete file when the send starts.
  • You have no error checking, so in the event of failure you code will continue and move the file.
  • If you have hundreds of files or some large ones and the next transfer starts (you schedule every minute) what will happen with the second set of transfers when the first one completes and moves the files?
I hope that this gives you something to consider in your process.
