I am new to shell scripting
I am getting file sample.txt from mainframes to my unix machine Mon-Fri every 15 minutes from 9:00AM to 6:00PM.
I need to Compare timestamp of sample.txt against system time via a Unix script kicked off by an Autosys job
My Task is to write a shell script to monitor the file for every 15 minutes.
If the file has not arrived more than 30 min i need to send email and also generate log file with start and end times.
Please help
My deadline is 3 days for this task
What have you tried so far ?
If you haven't, then try something from your side and ask specific questions/doubts instead of dumping your entire task on a forum of volunteers.

I am trying to run this one in telnet
#!/bin/ksh
File1=simple.txt # The file to check
LogFile=simple.log # The log file
DelayMax=30 # Timeout delay
Tolerance=2
# BEGIN ##############################
while true
do
StampNow=$(date +%s)/60 # stamp in minutes
StampFile=$(date -r "$File1" +%s)/60
let Delay=$StampNow-$StampFile
if [ $Delay -gt $DelayMax ]
then
echo "TIME STARTED = $(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S)" > $LogFile
echo "TIME ENDED = $(date +%Y-%m-%d_%H:%M:%S)" >> $LogFile
# etc.
exit 1
elif [ $StampFile -eq $StampOld ]
then
sleep $Tolerance # Retry a bit later
else
StampOld=$StampFile
let NewDelay=$StampNow-$StampFile+15+$Tolerance # To synchronize with the updating
sleep $NewDelay minutes
fi
done
