I have seen some scripts that put the file over with a temporary name then rename. This also protects from jobs on the destination server attempting to process file still in transit.

Once the...

How about:

find $READDIR -type f -name '*.ready' | while read file
do
real_file="${file%.ready}"
echo "put $real_file $FTPDIR" >> tde_batch
echo "!rm $real_file" >> tde_batch
cp...

for I in `ls *` is a useless use of backticks (http://www.smallo.ruhr.de/award.html#backticks). for I in * does the exact same thing with one fewer command and no unintended side-effects.

You can...

You'll need to slightly modify Corona688's proposal for this: for FR in *.ready
do FILE="${FILE/.ready/}"
[ -e "$FILE" ] || break # Avoids error
echo...

Almost. You used FILE where you needed FR:
for FR in *.ready
do FILE="${FR%.ready}"
[ -e "$FILE" ] || break # Avoids error
echo "put ${FILE}...

sudo tail -20 /etc/sudoers ?

Just one thing you forgot to change: for ((COUNT=0; N<PINGCOUNT; COUNT++))

Perhaps the following replacement for your script will give you a template showing how you can attack your problem:
#!/bin/bash
source /generic/utils/etc/environments/perm.conf
find $ENVR \(...

What do you mean by "environment"?
Maybe the following code snippet can help. In this example, I'm passing a certain file or directory as argument. You can later change that to better suit your...

Yes, we can.:D
If your find statements are exactly the same otherwise, you can combine them to one
find ${d}/backup ${d}/tmp -type f -mtime +3 '(' -name '*.zip' -o -name '*.CSV' -o -name '*.txt'...

A few changes to suggest:

When admin users don't need to change their password regularly, you might want to reconsider your site's security policy.
However, you can intercept that - depending on your shell - by using e.g....

Well, I can't see what your Eval value is, but when I execute # IFS=:; grep syslog /etc/shadow | { read user pw pwchg minpw maxpw Rest; echo "User: $user, days left: $(( pwchg + maxpw - $(date...

I'd gently propose a new "Useless Use of ELIF" award.
And I'm not sure I understand your approach to calculate the delta time until a password change is mandatory. Why don't you calculate the time...

It looks to me that your expr syntax error has to do with non-numeric data. I don't know what perl program $EpochSh does, but if it doesn't print out a number followed by a colon, you will have...

One of the many methods of finding the top 10 largest files in a directory is as follows:
find "${dir}" -type f -exec ls -lad {} \; | sort -n -r +4 | head -10
