"Dear" OP,

It's unethical to ask for ready-to-go solutions in a forum of volunteers. You will have to learn to put in some effort in doing your homework before asking for help.

Since we are all unpaid volunteers here, you may want to consider hiring the services of a Unix consultant who can write scripts for you. Of course, those services are not free.

HTH,
tyler_durden

Sorry sir,

I don't want to bother any of you, but if some one could help that will be fine
at least how to start.
