Yes, but shouldn't the for fullname in /HOTFOLDER/*.xlsx then run across ALL files present? Or do you think it's a race / timing problem? Why, then, would the 4th (i.e. the last) file be treated only?
Somehow by the way pasaico is copying the files the fourth file is the first to be created. As soon as it is created inotifywait exits and there is a full ten seconds before it is run again. I imagine the wildcard expansion is faster than the copy which is why only one file is seen. When I tested the code 1.xlsx was copied.
Original script (modified for testing by me):
If we put that sleep statement between the while and for statements you give the copy time to catch up. Try it.
This is the solution I proposed (now properly coded):
Now, every time a file is copied or otherwise created the while loop is run. I am checking for a CREATE rather than a CREATE,ISDIR and the file has the correct extension.

Hi
I'm going to write a program in C language to watch activity on file system
in SCO UNIX openserver 5.0.6.
Apparently Linux provide an API called "inotify" , I'm wondering what's the SCO UNIX package for this ? (1 Reply)

Also, i'm seeing a lot of similar... (1 Reply)
