Moving file using shell script fails occasionally
Hi,
I am trying to copy a file to "B" directory also once it is done, i am trying to move the files to "C" directory.
And have written the below code to do so.

Code:
cd / 

rm script116.source116.file

SOURCEONEACTUAL="a"
SOURCEONENEW="b"

ls -lrth $SOURCEONEACTUAL116 | awk '{print $9}' |grep -v temp > script.source.file

while read line
do
cd  $SOURCEONEACTUAL
cp $line $SOURCEONEACTUAL/temp/
mv $line $SOURCEONENEW

done < script.source.file

date

The code works fine, but sometimes i am seeing the file count mismatch from b directory to c directory.
I have enabled the code in cronjob to carry out the process once in every hour as file count will be huge.

Need suggestion on below points
1. How can i add the logs to identify the problem.
2. And what might be the problem where it is not able to move all the files to new directory after the copy.

create_makefile

CREATE_MAKEFILE 						  [FIXME: manual]						   CREATE_MAKEFILE

NAME

       create_makefile - Creates Makefile.in and Makefile from a Makefile.am

SYNOPSIS

       create_makefile [relativepath/Makefile] [relativepath]

DESCRIPTION

       create_makefile creates the Makefile.in and Makefile in a subdirectory containing a Makefile.am. This script saves time compared to
       re-running configure completely

       Note that you must supply the path to the desired MakefileMakefile.am (though the final /Makefile may be omitted).

       This script may be run from the toplevel directory (the one containing configure) or from one of it's subdirectories.

       If the source directory is different from the build directory (see the environment variables below), it will be assumed that the
       Makefile.am and Makefile.in belong beneath the source directory and that the Makefile belongs beneath the build directory.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

ENVIRONMENT

       One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
       directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.

       OBJ_SUBJDIR
	   Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is
	   kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.

       OBJ_REPLACEMENT
	   A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is
	   ~/src/kdesdk and the build directory is ~/src/kdesdk-obj, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.

AUTHORS

       create_makefile was written by David Faure<faure@kde.org> and others. This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton<bab@debian.org> for the
       Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
