When you start a thread in this forum it is always a good idea to tell us what operating system and shell you're using. Otherwise, we may make assumptions that apply to some operating system and shells that cannot possibly work in your environment...

If filename might contain pattern matching characters (and might therefore match more than one file) which might be supplied as a command line operand, you might want to try something more like:

Code:

filename=${1:-abc.txt}
echo "Filename is $filename"
find $filename -mmin +10 | while read -r file
do	echo "$file not modified from last 10 minutes.  Please check!"
	mail -s "$file not modified" abc.xxx@com
done

If you know that $filename will never expand to more than one file, you might want something more like:

Code:

filename="abc.txt"
echo "Filename is $filename"
MTIME=$(find "$filename" -mmin +10)
if [ -z "$MTIME" ]
then	echo "$filename not modified in last 10 minutes.  Please check"
	mail -s "$filename not modified" abc.xxx@com
else	echo "$filename is modified"
fi

  NAME
      caspar-typesetting - Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks

  SYNOPSIS
      In a Makefile, write

	include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

      or

	include caspar/mk/pod.mk

      .

  DESCRIPTION
      The  caspar  docbook.mk  and pod.mk files are Makefile snippets for common typesetting tasks, like typesetting LaTeX (see [3]), DocBook XML,
      DocBook SGML (see [2]) and POD (see [1]) documents.  You just have to type make, instead of stuff  like  jade  -t  tex  -d  caspar/print.dsl
      /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl foobar.dbx.

  USAGE
      In a directory where you maintain .dbx (Docbook XML) or .tex (LaTeX) files, do

	 $ echo include caspar/mk/docbook.mk > Makefile

	 $ vi karenina.dbx
	 $ make karenina.view
	 $ make karenina.print

	 $ vi svejk.tex
	 $ make svejk.view
	 $ make svejk.print

	 $ make
	 $ make clean

      Other targets: filename.ps, filename.pdf, filename.2ps, filename.html, filename.printbig, filename.dvi.

      Variables  you  might  like  to  set  in	your  Makefile:  XMLDCL (default is /usr/share/sgml/declaration/xml.dcl; if you're not on a Debian
      GNU/Linux system, you'll likely have to adjust this), HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL.

      In a directory where you maintain .pod files, do

	 $ echo include caspar/mk/pod.mk > Makefile
	 $ vi lire.pod
	 $ perldoc ./lire.pod
	 $ make lire.pdf
	 $ make
	 $ less lire.overstrike-txt
	 $ make clean

      Other targets: filename.ps, filename.html, filename.txt, ...  (Similar to the ones supplied by docbook.mk).

  EXAMPLES
      Some examples: Overriding the caspar-supplied DSSSL files: Create your own print.dls and html.dsl, in the same directory as your Docbook XML
      files. Your Makefile should read:

       PRINT_DSL = print.dsl
       HTML_DSL = html.dsl
       include caspar/mk/docbook.mk

      Overriding the standard html-to-text convertor:

       $ W3M=lynx make svejk.txt

      .

  FILES
      caspar/mk/docbook.mk, caspar/mk/pod.mk

  ENVIRONMENT
      For  docbook.mk: files: XMLDCL, HTML_DSL, PRINT_DSL; utilities: JADE, PDFJADETEX, PDFLATEX, JADETEX, LATEX, W3M, DVIPS, PSNUP, LPR, GV; set-
      tings: JADE_MAXERRORS. These variables can get adjusted in Makefile, as well as in the shell environment.

      pod.mk Uses no environment variables.
