File arrival status
If there is a file being transferred from one box to another box, How can one confirm on the 2nd box..that the file has arrived, and transfer is complete ?

I mean in addition to checking the file exists, I want to confirm its transferred completely and not growing in size.

How are you transferring the file - by ftp or scp?
scp will give you the transfer status - ie. 100% transferred..

With ftp - you could do some file checking on the 2nd node..
Check the size of the file on the 2nd node - against the size on the 1st

If a file is stil in transit there will be at least one process on the local machine that has it 'open'. In which case you can use the lsof command

lsof <path to file>

If there is any output then its in use and probably still in transit.

erm... unbeliever already has given you the "sample code"

If you don't have lsof... use fuser....

an example
Code:
root@host> rcp somehost:/path/to/somefile .
^Z
Suspended
root@host> bg
[1]    rcp  ... &
root@host> ls
somefile
root@host> fuser ./somefile 
./somefile:    15455o
root@host> ps -ef | grep 15455
    root 15596 14653  0 12:43:52 pts/5    0:00 grep 15455
    root 15455 14653  5 12:43:33 pts/5    0:13 rcp somehost:/path/to/somefile .
root@host> kill -9 15455
root@host> 
[1]    Killed                        rcp  ...
root@host> fuser ./somefile
./somefile:
root@host> rm ./somefile

Cheers
