Thanks,
but here it complains so many $ ./check_file.sh
./check_file.sh: line 8: [: too many arguments
Possible problem with spaces. This one works for me:
No, the problem is the number of arguments to the ls call.
There is a limited number of arguments for a process, and
the glob sys_em_*.txt expanded to more than that number.
What is the number? I tried it with 8192 files:
#>ls -1 file-* | wc -l
8192
#>../test.sh 8192
sucess
And my script is:
#>cat ../test.sh
my_number=$1
while :
do
if [ `ls -1 file* | wc -l` == "$my_number" ]
then
echo "sucess"
break
fi
echo "test"
sleep 5
done
