Hi Karthick,

Just a little bit more info would be good, like the OS and the shell that you expect this to run in!

Regards

Oops, sorry dave should have given it before.


I'm using a ubuntu server and it would be a bash script.


Thanks

Hi Karthick,

OK, well there is a lot of quite good stuff out there for Ubuntu. A good place to have a look at when searching for this type of info is github and there are lots of examples, check out this one here.

It may be of some help.

Regards

Dave
