Shell Monitoring Script

The request seems ambiguous on several points, and I don't have any reason to think my crystal ball is any clearer than yours. Presumably, you know where this request came from and you have some insight into what they want. If that is true, your crystal is probably a lot clearer than mine.
At first glance I would say it is asking for the number of files in the 5 directories associated with the current minute, the previous minute, the minute before that, the minute before that, and the minute before that. Or maybe you should skip the current minute and just look at the 5 previous minutes (so file counts aren't artificially low due to the current minute being incomplete and files may still be added after you complete the count).
But:Good luck.

But:
- Why say "count the number of files in the given directory" instead of "count the number of files in the given directories"?
- Does "(events_storage/files_constant_patterns)" mean that instead of counting files in events/files_detected/2010/11/02/07/53 you should count files in events/files_detected/2010/11/02/07/53/events_storage/files_constant_patterns? Or in events/files_detected/2010/11/02/07/53/files_constant_patterns and in events/files_detected/2010/11/02/07/53/events_storage? Or does it mean that there are several types of files and you're only supposed to count files that are events_storage files or files_constant_patterns file? If so, what are events_storage files and files_constant_patterns files and how do you identify them?
- Are the directory names based on local time or coordinated universal time? If it is local time and you are in a place where daylight savings time is observed, you will have one hour each year when files will be added to the directory during two different minutes. Are you supposed to adjust the limits during the second hour when files are being added to those directories? And, if so, what adjustments are you supposed to make?
- Etc.

HYLAFAX-SHUTDOWN(5) File Formats Manual HYLAFAX-SHUTDOWN(5) NAME
etc/shutdown - server shutdown control file DESCRIPTION
If the file etc/shutdown is present it describes when a HylaFAX server is to be shutdown and may contain a descriptive message to return to clients explaining the reason for the shutdown. This file is used by the hfaxd(8) program. The file has the following format: <year> <month> <day> <hour> <minute> <deny> <disconnect> <shutdown message text> The first line defines the date and time the server should be shutdown and the time preceding at which unprivileged clients should be denied service or disconnected; these fields are described in more detail below. Any lines that follow the first are taken as the text of a message to return to clients when notifying them of a scheduled shutdown or when denying them service. <year> The decimal year; e.g. 1996. <month> The decimal month; e.g. 10 for October. <day> The decimal day of the month in the range [1..31]. <hour> The decimal hour since midnight; in the range [0..23]. <minute> The decimal minute after the hour; in the range [0..59]. <deny> The time prior to the shutdown time at which to deny service to unprivileged clients. This value is specified as decimal number in the form HHMM; e.g. 130 for 1 hour and 30 minutes. <disconnect> Time time prior to the shutdown time at which to disconnect unprivileged clients that are logged in to the server. This value is specified as a decimal number in the form HHMM. NOTES
This file is typically created using the ``SHUT'' command supported by hfaxd(8). SEE ALSO
