Hello there, I am very new to scripting and am struggling with where to even begin with one of the tasks I have been presented with. I can work out in plain english exactly what I need a script to do however I cannot begin to work out the logical construction of the script or scripts and/or the syntax of it.
- Check a folders contents at a time, for example 5am.
- Count how many files are in the folder.
- At a later time check the folders contents again, for example lets say at 6am.
- Count how many files are in the folder which are at least 1 hour old (to exclude any that have been added since the first check).
- Compare result of both checks.
- If 6am result is equal to or greater than 5am result send an email alert with failed status.
- If 6am result is less than 5am result send an email alert with passed status.
Any help would muchly be appreciated.
