@punpun26262626: Welcome to the forum.
It is usually well received in here if you put some more effort into formulating the spec than "Now please advise". What OS / shell / tools versions do you...

Any results prior to exiting, like output or error messages? Did you try with the -x option set?

So - now the value is in a variable, not a file? Your request becomes confusing.

Kindly tell us what operating system and shell you're using. (Which, as you know, you should tell us every time you start a thread in the Shell Programming and Scripting forum.)

With a POSIX...

Try - if your shell provides "process substitution" -

date -f<(sed -r 's/([0-9]{8})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})([0-9]{2})/\1 \2:\3:\4/' file) "+%s"
1538666471
1538666473
1538666473
.
.
.or
sed -r...

Yes, of course - if you answer my question.

And, how is that extracted and presented to date?

date -d "20181004 17:20:00" "+%s"
1538666400 works. Is that string stored in a variable? A file?

In post#1 you had an attempt to run a remote command and redirect its output to a local file:
ssh -nqx $dpi_srvr_42 -p 22 "
ls $dpi_42_sourceFilesDir/fixed | grep '\.tgz$'
" >...

Are you aware that your ssh login does an echo 2>&1 and immediately quits? The entire if ... fi branch is executed on the local node.

I would strongly suggest running your script with tracing enabled. In other words, add the line:
set -xv
immediately after the first line of your script:
#!/bin/bash

Your inconsistent variable...

Why not check the modified date of the directory itself? With the assumption that nothing else is going on there (any maintenance to be considered separately), it should represent the last file's...

So every 10 minutes, check the directory and if the most recent file is greater than 10 minutes old send a mail with the subject "No new files seen since ${LATEST_FILE_TIMESTAMP}"

You can use cron...

You could also try:

awk 'NF==27 {$19=$19 $20; for(i=20;i<NF;i++) $i=$(i+1);NF--}1' FS='|' OFS='|' COMPLAINT_EVENT_TWO.processing

Which avoids using the dummy =-= string.

awk 'NF==27 {$19=$19 $20; $20="=-="; sub("\\|" $19 "\\|=-=\\|", "|" $19 "|")} {print $0}' FS="|" OFS="|" COMPLAINT_EVENT_TWO.processing

man comm

The output of above IS the reduced file list. Capture it and mv to original file list.

OK, brilliant, that's a start (talking of post#5)! You did not yet specify how those parameter(s) should look like ... one parameter, several characters/numbers?

Did you read bash's man page on...

"Like that" is not too precise a specification. With a vague request like above I'm afraid yo need to be content with fuzzy answers. Like:
Use a case statement to scan through the possible parameter...

What would "argument passed at run time" look like? And, what does "like if default" mean?

As I tried to point out, and I don't know how to phrase it more explicitly, the output of the script IS THE NEW LISTFILE, containing ALL THE FAILURES (i.e. having deleted the successful moves) and so...

You need to take into account that the mv command can fail. So you need to keep track of failed files.

#!/bin/bash
target=/fstest/INVESTIG/Sadiq/TEST_ARCH
> /tmp/errfile # create an empty...

Regarding the [[-n $line ]] you seem keep to have, what are you trying to achieve?

Are you worried about blank input lines perhaps? If so, maybe this would be better:-while read line
do
[[...

You say another process has the input filelist open for writing randomly and simultaneously? Then your request can't be fulfilled without implementing locking mechanisms, esp. in that other program....

Appending? No way - if you run the snippet as given. I've (reluctantly) built your sceanrio from post#6 but removed file003.bin from the input file. Result:
while read line; do cp -v $line /tmp/;...
