scripting

[John McDen]

Hello Guru's,

How do I check for a particular file (dtdbache_*) in /tmp dir and if the file does not exist I need to run a script.

Please help...

Thanks for your help..

FNAME=/tmp/myfile
if [ ! -f ${FNAME} ]
then
runmycommand
fi

Hey Clay,

Thnx...

John

[ ! -f /tmp/dtdbache_* ] && echo runmycommand

Change the echo runmycommand to the actual command you want to run.

Hi John


One more creative way

while true

do

export A='ls /tmp | grep dtdbache_ |wc -l'

if [$A = 1 ]

then

command

exit

fi

sleep ( interval )

done
