Hi jkoopman,

I hope you could help me with another scripting problem of mine. I need to monitor certain directories and check whether the files in those directories are updated. By updated I mean that they were placed there within the last five minutes. If no file/s is in the directories within the last five minutes, I wanted to be alerted of it. How do I create a shell script for this?

Hope you can help me with this, I really am not familiar with shell scripting and having such a hard time trying to figure out how to do it.
