Script to write to check the file in directory if available then run the FTP transfer script.

[James R. Ferguson]

Hi (again) Narendra:

> Thanks...I don;t want the file to check whether it is in use as this file won;t we use by any users. And can we simply write the logic to check whether file is avialabe in /ftpfile/outbox directory through ll |wc -l and if it gives and output 2 then the FTP transfer script will run or else it won;t run the FTP transfer script. Or any other logic without using process id.

If you simply want to test for an empty versus non-empty directory and trigger your FTP when the directory contains something, you could do:

#!/usr/bin/sh
[ ! -z "$(ls /path/to/directory)" ] && /script/FTPtransfer.ksh

Regards!
