OS : Red Hat Linux 6.4
Shell : Bash
We have a file called status.txt which will have only 1 line. The content will be the string "Processing" for most of the day.
I want to write a shell script (notify.sh) which will be executing a grep every 10 minutes .
Once the script is executed , it should do the following
1. run a grep command every 10 minutes and check if the content of status.txt is anything other than "Processing" .
2. If the status.txt file has anything other than the string " Processing " (ie. grep -v "Processing" ) then it should echo "Completed". Actually in my real business scenario If the status.txt has anything other than "Processing" then a mail needs to be send out using Linux's mail command. But, for our testing purpose an echo "completed" should do .
3. Stop the execution of the notify.sh script (exit) after grep command managed to find anything other than the string " Processing " and printed " Complete " .
Note: I don't this to be invoked via a cronjob because in my real world scenario this logic has to be incorported as a subsection of a much bigger script. :)
Any idea how I can write this piece of code ?
