Have need of a utility for Solaris 2.x. Situation is as follows. Sun is fileserver for many Mac users. The users app will produce both large .txt and printable .ps files. The ps files may exceed 300mb. The need is to put files on Sun, mv the txt files to another directory, and print the ps files. After print, remove the ps files. The key is in determining when the file transfer TO the Sun server is complete so the above actions can take place. Do not want to mv or print files that are in a state of growing. Because by nature Mac network protocols are slow, and these files are large, and there could be many users active at one time, can not use a time mechanism to list files, wait x minutes etc, then perform the operations. Need utility that knows the actual state of the file. When properly closed and not being accessed, script continues and performs the above move and print commands. Know of any such utility to monitor the file state before action is taken on the files in question?
