Do you mean the shell trap command or trapping errors from cron?

You do know that long crontab continued lines may be a problem if you are not really careful.

Can you please post an small example of your problem?

Hi -Thanks for the reply.

Example:
I have server name A with an IP : 125.252.235.455
I have an username /password to login into this server under SSH connection

In this server i have a path /apps/user/filename(Big.txt) [example]
Everyday we used to get the filename as Big.txt.
I want a shell script to monitor this path daily. If we receive any filename other than Big.txt , The shell script highlight the new filename by saving it another log file.
If any file comes in that log file, that will raise an autoclarify incident trap via Bridge clarify. Command i use for trap :
Code:
filter .*([9][0-4])% (.*|$) -> sysFailureMajor ->; AUTOCLARIFY:Applicationqueuename:2 APPID:APP52452 0 file mismatch - Raise P2 to Applicationqueuename-> SMM_storage;
