If you want a mail when delivery is done then the most logical is to get the program that load the files in your directory to send the mail...
The lowest time schedule under cron is a minute, you want a program to run from 22:00 to 01:00 next day every minute? ( 180 times?)

So, what have you tried so far? You will also need to tell us what you are using:-

  • Operating System
  • Version
  • Shell

.... and any tools you have a preference for and anything else relevant.

How do you want the file to appear in the email? Is this plain text to use in the body of the email, or are these to be attachments?

There's not really a lot to go on here and you need to make an effort to get us interested in a problem rather than just hoping for a bit of free code without any thought yourself.

i want to automate one task in unix and make one script.

There is directory in which everyday 2 files comes and that files come anytime in between 10 pm to 1 am.

file name is batm53_20131025_BARC5300001201310240000000200004233.221341696408

If u see filename has 3 part

1) batm53 which is constant
2) date when file arrive in directory
3) this part is BARC5300001201310170000000200004233.221341696408 in which BAR5300001 is constant and then after date of file . suppose today is 24th oct and file come after 1 am then second part of file name shows 25th oct but in third part after BAR5300001 it shows 24th oct date ( 20131024)

i am facing issue in this scenario

if file comes in between 10 pm to 12 am then i can make script easy with help of find command but i am facing issue in making that part how i can check if file comes after 12 am bceasue that file should be previous date and after 12 am date should change.

Please top spamming different forums with the same questions. It will not get you an answer any faster, and it will confuse people who would be willing to help.

Thank you.
