Newbie question. I want to create a shell script that will only move/copy a file if it's determined that the eof string exists. This is to control files being uploaded via FTP. I don't want to move incomplete files, so my only thought is to check for eof, or compare file size every 15-30 seconds on the same file until size in bytes is the same and then move/copy the file. Some uploads occur over very slow connections, with large file sizes, and can take up to 10 minutes.

Anyone already have something like this? What commands would be best to use to facilitate this?
what do you mean EOF (end of file) string?

are you looking for something on the last line of the file?

if you are going the shell route you can use if [`tail -1 $file` eq "some_string" ]; then
........
fi

you might need a double [[ ]] vs the single []
