Just to complete the Script:-
#!/bin/sh
running=1;
while [ $running -eq 1 ]; do
ls/home/user/workflow/Proofers/A4/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "A4 Files Found!!"
lp -d brothers /home/user/workflow/Proofers/A4/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
# Possibly put in a sleep(60) or whatever here so
# files are not deleted b4 printing
echo "A4 Files Printed!!"
rm /home/user/workflow/Proofers/A4/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
fi
fi
ls/home/user/workflow/Proofers/A3/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
echo "A3 Files Found!!"
lp -d brothers /home/user/workflow/Proofers/A3/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ; then
# Possibly put in a sleep(60) or whatever here so
# files are not deleted b4 printing
echo "A3 Files Printed!!"
rm /home/user/workflow/Proofers/A3/*.pdf 2>/dev/null
fi
fi
