really struggling with my last command in this script im trying to do
i want to capture the disk usage of the DIR in "to_be_archived" folder and a sleep command for 10 minutes and then run the disk usage command again to see if the two values change
if they have stop doing this DIR and do the next DIR in the "to_be_archived" folder
if the same values match, it can continue doing the tar/rsync/rm commands
im kind of thinking like this -
Code:
du --time "$DIR"/
sleep 600
du --time "$DIR"/
but i dont know how get it to do if the two values change exit, if they stay the same continue
the reason i have used the du --time command is it tells me the modification time and i would rather go by this than the folder size, if that makes sense

Could you please explain why you have chosen to ignore my suggestion in post #40 in this thread to do what you are suggesting above?
What you are suggesting above is not only MUCH slower, but also error prone.
Why add 10 minutes of processing time to each directory you want to archive?
How do you know that a network delay or system scheduling won't stop whatever is copying files into a /to_be_archived/project directory for 10 minutes?
How will you know that something didn't accidentally kill the script copying files into a /to_be_archived/project directory before it completed successfully?
How will you know that the script copying files into a /to_be_archived/project directory didn't terminate because if was unable to copy a file (or perform some other action) before it completed?
How will you know that a bug in the script copying files into a /to_be_archived/project directory didn't cause the script to die before it completed its job?
All of these problems are avoided if you use the approach I suggested in post #40 in this thread. With the approach I suggested in post #40:
Scripts copying files into the /to_be_archived file hierarchy can operate independently from the script in this thread.
The script being discussed in this thread won't see a directory for a project to the archived until all files for that project have been successfully transferred into the corresponding /to_be_archived/project directory.
There is no need to slow down the script being discussed in this thread to try to determine if the directory for a project to be archived is ready to archive.
However, no matter what you do, you still need to verify that $DIR expands to an existing directory (as I mentioned in posts #16 and #24 in this thread).
And, I still question why you don't move the assignment command:
Code:
MailAddress="robertw@molinare.co.uk"
before your loop instead of resetting its value for each value of DIR you process.
so the operators, once they complete their projects, will move their project folders in the dir "to_be_archived" and once in there the script will take over/handle it and dump the output tar to dir "archived_projects"
lets say the operators have just started moving the project folder into the dir "to_be_archived" and my script is running and it intercepts the new project folder but the project folder is still growing in size, i dont want it to start of the process as they are still moving the project folder to the dir "to_be_archived"
thats why i want to put a wait command, to say if its stopped growing the project for 10 minutes it can start off the script but if its still growing, move on to the newxt project folder in the dir "to_be_archived"

Hi Robert,
You didn't pay close enough attention to what I suggested in post #40: I said it would be much better if you would create a hidden directory under /to_be_archived (such as /to_be_archived/.in_progress), have your operators move everything into a sub-directory under that directory (such as /to_be_archived/.in_progress/project), and then after that project directory contains everything your operators want to archive, have them issue the command:
Your existing script WILL NOT SEE /to_be_archived/.in_progress nor any directories under it. (That is why it is called a hidden directory.) After your operators have completed copying files into /to_be_archived/.in_progress/project, then, and only then, as the final step they issue the mv command that will make the completed project directory visible to your existing script.
If you don't believe that this works, run the following simple script to see that hidden directories will not be visible to your script:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
# Create a file hierarchy with one hidden project and one visible project:
mkdir junk junk/.hidden junk/.hidden/project2 junk/project1
cd junk
touch project0.tar project1/file1 project1/file2
touch .hidden/project2/hfile1 .hidden/project2/hfile2
echo 'File hierarchy with project2 directory hidden:'
ls -laR # Note that if the -a is left out, ls will not see hidden files either.
echo
# The following is similar to the code you are using, but skips over artifacts
# left over from failed attempts to archive arvhive0.
for DIR in *
do if [ ! -d "$DIR" ]
then printf 'Skipping non-directory file "%s".\n' "$DIR"
continue
fi
printf 'Found file "%s" before moving hidden directory.\n' "$DIR"
# Perform the rest of your script to archive this project...
done
printf '\nNote that .hidden and project2 should not appear above.\n\n'
# Add some more files to project2 (This could be done in parallel with running
# your current script since these files are still hidden from your script.
touch .hidden/project2/hfile3 .hidden/project2/hfile4
# Now make the hidden project2 visible
mv .hidden/project2 project2
echo 'File hierarchy with project2 directory moved out from under hidden directory.'
ls -laR
echo
for DIR in *
do if [ ! -d "$DIR" ]
then printf 'Skipping non-directory file "%s".\n' "$DIR"
continue
fi
printf 'Found file "%s" after moving hidden sub-directory.\n' "$DIR"
done
printf '\nNote that project2 should now appear above but .hidden is still not seen.\n'
# Now clean up after ourselves...
cd -
rm -rf junk
i see where your coming from Don and yes this would be easier but our operators, dont really know anything about command line terminology and there like old dogs (cant teach an old dog new tricks)
im doing this to make my life alot easier for myself ie so all they have to do is move thier project folders "to_be_archived" and once in there it will wait 10 minutes and if that project folder hasnt been modified in 10 minutes it will then tar/rsync and remove it
this is my final draft
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /vol/cha-work/to_be_archived/audio/auto_archive/
for dir in */
do DIR=$(basename "$dir")
MailAddress="robertw@molinare.co.uk"
if find "$DIR" -mmin -10 | grep '.' ; then
