Bash shell script to check the if empty files are being created & start the process
I have an Ubuntu server in which a file is dumped every hour and a new file for the next hour and the process continues. If there is any problem due to which the creation of file stops then empty files are created every minute till the process is killed & started again. I need help to make a shell script to check if the empty files are being created and then kill the process and start it again.
It would be a great help if anyone can help me regarding this.
When is use this script everything is fine. But the problem is that all the files including data files and empty files are being removed from /tmp/test/
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for file in /tmp/test/*
do
if [[ ! -s $file ]]
then
echo "Found zero length file"
pkill -9 myproc
/home/user/proc.sh
fi
rm -f $file
done
How can this script be modified in order to delete only the empty files.
