My other issue I have seems very simple but im just not seeing it. I have a script that checks on a remote share to see if the backups for some systems have run. Its as simple as:
This is in about 6 times with different locations and at the end it emails the contects of send.txt to me.
Im wanting it now to check if file exists with todays date and out put either pass or fail. The issue im having is combining it all to find the file with todays date and give the required output. The locations of the backup files has about 60days worth all with the date in some format in the file name so the only option I could see was to find files created today (midnight on) and do the same for each location but im stuck.
Can anyone point me in the right direction please

Reason: Please use code tags, thank you
I have made some changes to the script and it worked once but not know.
The basics are I want to output a pass / fail if a file exists for a specified date. The script I have now is
Code:
if find /mnt/ukwcs-net-config/HyperConf/Bingley\ Road/172.16.100.0/172.16.100.20*.txt -type f -mtime -1 -print; then
echo "***Backup completed***"
else
"echo ***BACKUP FAILED***"
fi
The plan is that the backup runs each night from midnight on. so im trying to fine if the file is there within from midnight on for that day.
The output I get is always completed even when the file is not there for the range given.
this is repeated for different locations which hold the backup files and at the end it emails the results.
the reason im looking for files within a time frame is that all the different backup files I have are in different name formats and all contain the date in some format within the file name so I cant specify the file directly.
I may be going about this completely wrong so your advise appreciated.
Thanks
I need to check whether a file exists and has been changed.
The file should contain a specific string. The file should also have been changed within the last ten seconds.
How do I do that? (3 Replies)
