Scripting 101: Modification on the previous topic

Before I modified the original script, I was advised by my colleague to take note of the date especially for the single digits, which was not addressed before. So, the corrections include re-assigning of variables, deletion of unwanted, throwing errors to null, etc.

Here they are:

1. CSV_DATE=`date '+%a %b %d'`

2. LIST_DATE was removed.

3. echo-es were deleted.

4. Errors were thrown to /dev/null; when added to cron, this will be re-directed to /dev/null as well.

5. mail was not working so I used EOF for the body:

/usr/ucb/mail -s "Subject here..." $EMAIL_ADD <<\

EOF

# Whatever the content between EOFs will be evaluated a regular formatted text (including blank lines and spaces) except for variable substitution such as here, which will output the result - the current date.

This will be a regular text.

$(date)

EOF

6. Since LIST_DATE was removed, I used 'find' to locate the most recent files that were modified, as:

for CSV in `find /path/of/files -name "some*.csv" -mtime 0\

2> /dev/null`

do

cp -p $CSV /some/httpd/location/

done

I hope, everything will be ok now after this week's test. It'll be submitted for cron-nization!
