Needed urgent help with shell script

Hi,
Thanks for the reply to the previous posting.I need a shell script to the following.I am entirely new to the comapny and please help me with this.

1) Create the file with a timestamp i.e. nrt_readership.mmddyyyyhhmm
2) The processing job will look for files of the pattern nrt_readership.mmddyyyyhhmm
3) Rename first file to process file name and process it
4) Once the file is processed it will be copied to an archive directory
5) Reccord the time when the file was processed
6) Repeat 3-4 till all files are processed

In Step 2
If no files have been processed in the last 1 hr, exit with error code or send notification

Thanks
Harish
