Hi Don

i dont really understand

so the operators, once they complete their projects, will move their project folders in the dir "to_be_archived" and once in there the script will take over/handle it and dump the output tar to dir "archived_projects"

lets say the operators have just started moving the project folder into the dir "to_be_archived" and my script is running and it intercepts the new project folder but the project folder is still growing in size, i dont want it to start of the process as they are still moving the project folder to the dir "to_be_archived"

thats why i want to put a wait command, to say if its stopped growing the project for 10 minutes it can start off the script but if its still growing, move on to the newxt project folder in the dir "to_be_archived"

kadu-config

KADU(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   KADU(1)

NAME

       kadu-config - script to get information about the installed version of kadu

SYNOPSIS

       kadu-config [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--libs] [--cflags] [--data-dir] [--modules-dir] [--qt-moc-dir]

DESCRIPTION

       kadu-config  is	a  tool for retrieving the library/include paths kadu was compiled with. Useful for folks compiling their own Kadu modules
       outside the main source tree.

       kadu-config is based on xmms-config from the XMMS package.

OPTIONS

       kadu-config accepts the following options:

       --prefix[=DIR]
	      If specified, use DIR instead of the installation prefix that kadu was built with when computing the output  for	the  --cflags  and
	      --libs  options.	This  option  is  also	used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified
	      before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --exec-prefix[=DIR]
	      If specified, use DIR instead of the installation exec prefix that kadu was built with when computing the output	for  the  --cflags
	      and --libs options.  This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options.

       --version
	      Print the currently installed version of kadu on the standard output.

       --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link kadu to a program.

       --cflags
	      Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a program that uses kadu.

       --data-dir
	      Print the directory that the kadu's icons, emoticons and sounds themes are installed in.

       --modules-dir
	      Print the directory that the kadu's modules keep their description and data files.

       --qt-moc-dir
	      Print the directory that the Qt's moc compiler is installed in.

       kadu was written by Kadu Team (see /usr/share/kadu/doc/AUTHORS file for details).
