AIX

Hi

Im looking to create a Aix script to monitor a file for once it's been updated and then send an email. I dont have great scripting knowledge and have only come up with the following so far

while true
do
find /home/test/AMQ* -mmin 1 > /home/test/scripts/output/MQERRORS
exec /home/test/scripts/test
sleep 20
done

So from the above i can get the monitoring part done and am dealing with the email part in the script in the while loop in bold which i cant get to execute. Can you not execute a script in a while loop?

There is probably an easier way to do it, so some help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt.

What for 'exec'.

while true
do
find /home/test/AMQ* -mmin 1 > /home/test/scripts/output/MQERRORS
/home/test/scripts/test
sleep 20
done


For run scheduling tasks cron is beter solution

Cheers for that looks like there was a problem with the test script i was tring to execute.
