Many thanks Ken, I've just experimented with fuser and it returns something when the file is being transferred - excellent! Now for a command better than 'ls -l' to get the file size (as a fail safe). 'sum' returns checksum, so maybe that'll do the trick - surprised there seems to be no...
Tikual,
The files are being sent on an adhoc basis and I unfortuinately have no control over them or the remote server. The CPU usage is low (test server) so I don't mind this script running in the background as long as it sleeps between checking for a file's existence.
Files are being transferred to a local directory remotely (from a server with no rsh access). I'm writing a script to loop round every minute or so and action a file once it appears. I need to test whether the file transfer has completed fully.

God bless those Uzenet newsgroups - here's the answer I received there (and it seems to work like a dream!):
You may modify the /kernel/drv/options.conf file and replace "7f" with"8".
For example, modify -...
Hmmm. I appreciate that setting our emulator to send ^? would solve it (although Telnet sends ^H too, so why should I...), but I am really after how ^? is set by the Solaris server in the first place before any .login, .profile files are executed. getty, perhaps? Once logged in, ^H is used...
Unfortunately this is inappropriate at login. I'd like the Solaris box to recognise ^H if I erase during login i.e. I mistype my username. Once in, ^H (backspace key) is fine.
I'd guess it's a terminal definition issue. Our Unixware servers do not act this way (using the same emulators &...
Hi all,
How can I influence the erase character at the login prompt?
It's fine once logged in, but is incorrectly set to ^? if used at login prompt. Evident via Telnet & other terminal emulators.
Many thanks
