Here is the idea i have ....

1)create a junk file having varying lines of lengths of data ....

2)put a while loop for number of files u want ...

4) Using this random number 'x' get the xth line from junk file
put it in the randomfile using date upto seconds
since time changes for evry sec ... u will have 60 diff files in a minute.


d=`date +%T`
5) echo "xth line" > $d.dat

6).use sleep if u want ....

Hope this is not junk idea !! Smilie Smilie
