Hello RudiC and thank you for this reply and inquiry.

The two file versions will never coexist together. It will either be:
bootstrap_cookbooks_version_green
bootstrap_cookbooks_version_red
or the file won't exist at all.

The reason for the oneliner is because I'm using a "Here Doc" in Bash to connect once to a group of servers and I'm issuing multiple commands against each server for a report. I know there are better ways to do this but this is the script we started with and what I'm supporting for now since the report from this script is actively used daily. Eventually I will move us to another way to retrieve the results we need but for now I'm keeping this script alive. So far I've been able to acheive what I need in this Here Doc step of the script whereby each data I want to retrieve from the remote server is contained all in one liner commands.

I hope this explanation is enough as to why I'm hoping I can answer this question using a one line command to identify the filename in this folder.

Thank you.

NAME

       script - make record of a terminal session

SYNOPSIS

       script [-a] [filename]

DESCRIPTION

       The  script  utility  makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
       record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.

       The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
       when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.

OPTIONS

       The following option is supported:

       -a    Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.

NOTES

       script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS

       script  can  pose  a  security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
       privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
