Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

Hi,

Could you provide us some more information or input ?

Thanks

You can use stat command to get time of last modification log it to a file and compare it during each run:

Code:

#!/bin/bash

p_ts=$( cat fold_stat_mod )
c_ts=$( stat --format=%y fold | tee fold_stat_mod )

if [ "$p_ts" != "$c_ts" ]
then
        echo "Dir: fold modified" | mailx -s "Modified Alert" user@domain.com
fi
