you can also touch a done file and once the file is present only you can kick off your process. After your process is done remove that file to be ready for the file to come next time.

Hope you are specifying to use a "done file" in the notion of a "control file" which basically indicates whether to start a process or not and upon completion of the process to clean up the temp file.
In that case, when should the touch command be executed, therefore how would the script know when would the file transfer be completed and to touch the "done" file.

Correct me if I had mistaken somewhere Smilie
