File dtae comparison
I will change a file's modificaion date every hour (using touch). I need to check this file every hour to make sure a large program is running (the program has many modules that can stop -- not just one job to look for). If the file was not modified last hour, I want to send an email out to the programmer. Any suggestions on the best way to do this? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/File-dtae-comparison-t1294174.html#a3444873 Sent from the Gnu - Bash forum at Nabble.com. ___ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
Re: File dtae comparison
Thank you for your repley. One question, does the alarm command only work on the machine it is run on? Meaning, the programmer does not sit near that machine. Does the alarm alert cron to send the email? Thank you very much for your assistance.
