Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Bash script to check the files based up on UST time. Post 303018927 by jim mcnamara on Tuesday 19th of June 2018 09:05:06 AM

So you want to verify:
3 files arrive at 03:00 UST for AWS (A,B,C)
3 files arrive at 10:00 UST for EMEA (X,Y,Z)
5 files arrive at 23:00 UST for APJ (e,f,g,h,i)

Questions:
Do any of the files ever arrive late or early?

A lot more information would be useful. And I do not know tidal syntax. You will have to come up with that
Or your UNIX OS or any actual file names.

Do the files get deleted before the next time they arrive?

The OS is REALLY important. If I were to give you a solution that works on all "platforms everywhere answer" it will not be optimal

Logic:
Code:
1. schedule the same shell script to run at 03:30 10:30, and 23:30.
2. parameters for each job:
    time to run   file names
    (scheduler)
    03:30           A  B  C
    10:30           X  Y   Z
    23:30           e f h g i
3. Use 

         touch -t 201806190300 tmp  # make a file that has the oldest allowable timestamp
     where 201806190300 is the actual date and time 30 minutes ago, i.e., now minus 30 minutes - this number is an example
4.   step through each parameter filename   
      test each file for existence and correct timing
      if [[ ! -e filename ||  filename -ot tmp ]] ; then  # this means it has problems
         send email
      fi

Now answer some questions so we can help you.

dh_movefiles

DH_MOVEFILES(1) 						     Debhelper							   DH_MOVEFILES(1)

NAME

       dh_movefiles - move files out of debian/tmp into subpackages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_movefiles [debhelperoptions] [--sourcedir=dir] [-Xitem] [file...]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_movefiles is a debhelper program that is responsible for moving files out of debian/tmp or some other directory and into other package
       build directories. This may be useful if your package has a Makefile that installs everything into debian/tmp, and you need to break that
       up into subpackages.

       Note: dh_install is a much better program, and you are recommended to use it instead of dh_movefiles.

FILES

       debian/package.files
	   Lists the files to be moved into a package, separated by whitespace. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can
	   also list directory names, and the whole directory will be moved.

OPTIONS

       --sourcedir=dir
	   Instead of moving files out of debian/tmp (the default), this option makes it move files out of some other directory. Since the entire
	   contents of the sourcedir is moved, specifying something like --sourcedir=/ is very unsafe, so to prevent mistakes, the sourcedir must
	   be a relative filename; it cannot begin with a `/'.

       -Xitem, --exclude=item
	   Exclude files that contain item anywhere in their filename from being installed.

       file ...
	   Lists files to move. The filenames listed should be relative to debian/tmp/. You can also list directory names, and the whole directory
	   will be moved. It is an error to list files here unless you use -p, -i, or -a to tell dh_movefiles which subpackage to put them in.

NOTES

       Note that files are always moved out of debian/tmp by default (even if you have instructed debhelper to use a compatibility level higher
       than one, which does not otherwise use debian/tmp for anything at all). The idea behind this is that the package that is being built can be
       told to install into debian/tmp, and then files can be moved by dh_movefiles from that directory. Any files or directories that remain are
       ignored, and get deleted by dh_clean later.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
