Command script for checking a file existence
Hello,
I have a directory where sometimes appear a certain file name - and I'd like to be notified by email when that happens... so what command or script I may use?
e.g. if there's a file named "adam" in the directory named "dir1" then send a mail to "abc@abc.com".. it needs to permanently check the "dir1" until the file "adam" appears and then it can stop or finish. In case, no such file name is in "dir1" it does nothing, it's just running...
Thanks!
