Process only files which have completed in transaction
Hi ,


I have a situation where I have to Process files ( move , edit or rename ) in a folder ..... This folder is a FTP folder and Files keep coming in when they are available ... So I should perform my actions on those which which completed transaction .. .



Is there a way to identify a file which is in flight to the folder ? so that i can exclude them from my script ?


Thank you
Arun

The fuser command list the processes using a file or file structure.
Code:
man fuser

So if your file is currently in use and open, you should get something like:
Code:
$ /usr/sbin/fuser file
file:    26847o

26847 is the PID and o indicates that the process has file open.

Now you can write a script to run this command and determine if the file can be excluded or not.
