Need an efficient logic, that will iterate for each folders from a list of folders and check if
any files present in /data/abc/ if no then move all files present in dropbox/project/abc/
any files present in /data/pqr/ if no then move all files present in dropbox/project/abc/
any files present in /data/lmn/ if no then move all files present in dropbox/project/abc/
any files present in /data/xyz/ if no then move all files present in dropbox/project/abc/
if yes then send an email using mailx saying files already present in target folders cannot move
Need this script alive all the time every 10 mins always checking the file arrival in dropbox/project/..../ folders
Any input and direction will be appreciated
Thanks,
