Need Script to monitor file transfer has occurred

Hi Experts! I need your help again. I am in need of a script or software to perform the following function:

Monitor a specific directory.
If a file is there for longer than one minute, notify people.

There is a process that is dropping orders on to this directory. The files are moved when they have processed. If any one of the files stays in the directory for more than a minute, there is a big problem.

Some how this has become my problem, and they want me to write a script to monitor this and several other directories. It seems to me that this is going to get pretty ridiculous pretty quickly. I would love software that could do the monitoring, but would settle for help on the scripting.

As always, any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated, and rewarded with points.

Re: Need Script to monitor file transfer has occurred

I hope we can do it with shell scripting.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x

# Directory Path
DIR=/home/test/

for file in `ls $DIR`
do

min=`ll $file | awk '{ print $8 }' | cut -d : -f2`
org=`date +'%M'`

if [[ $min -gt `date +'%M'` ]]
then

# Make a alert or mail with $file info
# mailx

fi
done

Make changes more appropriate to your requirement.

HTH.

Re: Need Script to monitor file transfer has occurred

I think I got it fixed!

New script:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x

# Directory Path
DIR=/home/rowec/tevo
cd $DIR
for file in *
do

min=`ll $file | awk '{ print $8 }' | cut -d : -f2`
org=`date +'%M'`

if [[ $min -gt `date +'%M'` ]]
then

# Make a alert or mail with $file info
# mailx
echo "files not moving"
fi
done

New result:

Re: Need Script to monitor file transfer has occurred

I ran into a few snags with the script you suggested. Midnight was a huge issue. This is what I ended up with:

curmin=`date +%M`
#################################################################################

Re: Need Script to monitor file transfer has occurred

Hi,

That sure seems like a lot of work, especially for somebody as lazy as I am. :)

I thought about it and I came up with a little shell script that seems to work. I just use the 'touch' command to touch a file, sleep for 60 seconds, and then use the 'find' command to find any files older (actually not newer) than the file I touched. If I do, I e-mail a list of the files I found. The "reference" file can live anywhere, if you don't want it in your current directory.



#!/bin/sh

# oldfiles.sh

while true
do
touch reference.file
sleep 60
find . ! -newer reference.file -name "*.udf204.gwn" >/var/tmp/oldfiles
if [[ -s /var/tmp/oldfiles ]];
then
mailx -s "Files older than 1 minute found!" jpoff fi
done
