I would be very surprised if the command:
filename=INPUT_GIANT_*csv
ever did what you think it did. If you type in that command manually at a terminal while sitting in a directory where one file...

Change:
filename=INPUT_GIANT_*csvto:
filename=$(printf '%s\n' INPUT_GIANT_*csv)
to fix your immediate problem. However, this will not work if the filename matching pattern INPUT_GIANT_*csv...

The 1st operand to find is the name of a file (usually of type directory) to be tested or operated on by the primaries specified by later operands. The diagnostic you got is saying that find was not...

It isn't a problem; I just wanted to be sure your problem had been fixed. I'm glad my suggestion worked.

The size reported by the lstat() system call for a directory varies depending on...

Hi aimy,
You're welcome.

Is the output you showed us from your original script, or from my suggested modification? I'm not clear as to whether or not the "neat output" my suggestion provided...

Please show us the ls -la output for the file that has size 89 bytes. That find command shouldn't show you anything for files smaller than 512000 bytes. Unless you have a huge directory, it...

Yes, you could use 'mtime' to exclude these files but there are many ways of doing this and I'm sure you'll get a number of ideas posted here.

Having done this kind of thing countless times my...

You could use perl to fetch the file's modification time and compare it to the current time like this:

PROC_FILE="/var/dump/trn_20163002.24"
FILETIME=$(perl -e 'printf "%d",((stat(shift))[9])'...

You don't mention what OS you are running on.


If you OS has lsof installed you may be able to do something like:


if lsof -- "$PROC_FILE" > /dev/null
then
echo "$PROC_FILE is busy -...

UNIX format text files have a newline character as a line terminator. DOS format text file have a carriage-return character immediately followed by a newline character with the combination of those...

Try:
tr '\r' '\n' < INPUT_GIANT_JAN2016.txt > FIXED_INPUT_GIANT_JAN2016.txt

Maybe my suggestion is outside your main concern on temp files, but you can also try this.
Both input files should be sorted
$ join -t\@ -v1 incomplete.list source.list

join is a very...

Well, there might be. Trycut -c 1-25 source.list | grep -vxFf - complete.list The -f - will use stdin as the pattern file.

If was possible to just do:

cut -c 1-25 source.list > source.temp && grep -vxFf source.temp complete.list > missing.list; rm -f source.temp
which will try to delete source.temp regardless of any...

If that is an issue then try:

cut -c 1-25 source.list > source.temp && grep -vxFf source.temp complete.list > missing.list; [ -e source.temp ] && rm -f source.temp

No, it is not. The first, although missing a closing parenthesis, is called "process substitution" and offers cut's results as a stream on stdin for grep.
The second offers cut's results as a list...

For HPUX /sbin/sh is a POSIX-compliant shell. POSIX does not require process substitution, which is what you are asking for. Out of the box 11i HPUX has /bin/ksh which does support it.

This...

What OS are you on, does your system have /dev/fd/?

If so, you could consider using bash or ksh shells. Basically if the <(command) works your system supports it.

This is not very portable and...

This is a fairly new feature and is not available in a lot of shells yet. I know it's supported in the bash shell and ksh93.

Yes what you describe is process substiution and it works like this:

grep -vxFf incomplete.list <(cut -c 1-25 source.list)

Do you mean like this?

cut -c 1-25 source.list | grep -vxFf incomplete.list

With the original script in post #5 you could send to multiple recipients by using commas:
sh /EDWH-DMT02/script/MISC/email_v1.sh "my_email@company.com,my_email2@company.com,..." "$SUBJECT"...

I'd rewrite your script like this:

What is the output of { echo "FIRST" ; cat ftp_list.txt ; echo "LAST" ; } If that looks normal then perhaps there is something fishy in the mail system...
What is your OS and version ?
