Hi,

I have written a code with the below concept. Does it make sense?

Step 1:getting the newest file from ls -lrt | tail -1 & sending the file as an email attachment ( This is my req. need to find the recently accessed file & send it as attachment in an email)
Step 2: Move that file in to a back up directory. So that same file will not get accessed in the next run
Repeating this step via script managed by a scheduler.

Thanks
