Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I am newbie and I am looking for one script

Assume that I have 3 folders./In,/Error and /Download.I need to check if there is any file in folder called /Error and if there is exit.If there isn't then download the file from /In to /Download folder but one file at a time and then delete from /In folder

Is this possible.

I am trying the following script

Code:

FILE="/Error/*.*"

if [ -f $FILE ];
then
   echo "File $FILE exists"
else
   mv /In/*.txt /Downloads/
fi

But at the command mv I dont want to get *.txt but the oldest file from the Directory and do the same for each file in the /In directory

Mine is Solaris 10

Cheers

Code:

 
old_file=`ls -lrt /In/*.txt | grep "^-" | head -1 | awk '{print $NF}'`

will give you the oldest file and move the same from IN to Downloads.

Use the below one,

Code:

#!/bin/ksh
ErorCnt=`find /export/home/pvuser/ramesh/error -type f | wc -l`
echo "Error Count : $ErorCnt"
if [ $ErorCnt -gt 0 ]
then
        echo "File present"
else
        oldfile=`find /export/home/pvuser/ramesh/in -type f | head -1 | awk -F'/' '{ print $NF }'`
        mv /export/home/pvuser/ramesh/in/$oldfile /export/home/pvuser/ramesh/download/$oldfile
fi

Hi Panyam and RkSiva,

I would try and let you know

Thanks
