if [ -r running.txt ]; then
echo "Process is running already on $(date):"
cat running.txt
exit 1
fi
# Check for ok files every ten minutes.
found=0
counter=0
while [ $found -eq 0 -a $counter -lt 10 ]; do
if [ -r date.ok -a -r date1.ok ]; then
found=1
else
echo "date.ok & date1.ok files not found on $(date)" >> $WAIT_LOG
echo ".ok files not found on $(date)"
sleep 600
((counter=$counter+1))
fi
done
