Hi All,

working on AIX 5.3.

Requirement is:

Shell script in ksh to check if any file exists in 4 folders as below:

  1. /FILE/INB/INT1
  2. /FILE/INB/INT2
  3. /FILE/INB/INT3
  4. /FILE/INB/INT4

Thanks a lot for your time!

Here is one way

#!/bin/ksh
#
for dir in 1 2 3 4
do
  cnt=$(ls /FILE/INB/INT{dir} | wc -l)
  if [[ $cnt -ne 0 ]] ; then
    echo "no file in /FILE/INB/INT{dir}"
  fi;
done;
3 
filecount()
{
  [ -e "$1" ] && numfiles=$# || numfiles=0
}

for dir in /FILE/INB/INT1 /FILE/INB/INT2 /FILE/INB/INT3 /FILE/INB/INT4
do
  filecount "$dir"/*
  if [ $numfiles -gt 0 ]
  then
    printf "%d files in %s\n" "$numfiles" "$dir"
  fi
done
4

Not sure how find behaves in AIX (or if this counts as a "script"), but...

 RESULTS = `find ./FILE/INB/INT[1-4] -type f | wc -l` 
 if [ $RESULTS gt 0 ] ; then
   echo "There are $RESULTS files"
 fi
