Need Help in Scripting!

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hi,

Whenever my job executes, it generates a log file as follows:
Jobname.LOG`date +%m%d%y%H%M%S`.

It runs once a day..what i am trying to achieve is when some one tries to run the process manaully, the script should be able to exit without running the process.

In order to achieve that I would like to check the job log file based on month, date and year without considering the hours, minutes and seconds.

So, before the job starts executing it checks for the present day's log file(it should extract only month,date and year) and if it finds, the scripts exits.

Please let me know how to get this done.

Thanks in advance,
Sue

use following line at the begining of your script:

if [ -f  /name_of/directory_of/logfile/Jobname.LOG`date +%m%d%y`* ]
then
  exit 3
fi
