Need to monitor file count using ls command

soureddyjcr

I am using below script to count the files in a directory with name RTLOG_$DATE but this script is not working in SAM Template, Can some help me to modify the script correct so that I can get the output correctly and use in SAM

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $date = `date +\%Y\%m\%d`;
chomp($date);

my $directory = "/u01/apps/resa/done.$date";

# Navigate to the directory
chdir($directory) or die "Cannot navigate to $directory: $!";

# Run the count command
my $count_command = "ls -lrt RTLOG_*_$date | wc -l";
my $count = `$count_command`;

# Output 1 if count is greater than 0, otherwise output 0
if ($count > 0) {
   print "1\n";
} else {
   print "0\n";
}

I havn't used one of these bash(?) ones, but I use the powershell ones a lot and I think it's a simmilar format required. Check any working template for the language you're using

You want to do something like Print "Message.X: " and "Statistic.X:" on seperate lines
Looks like your script currently is producing a binary good/bad

Personally I like to output something like 1 pair for broke/not broke and explaining why, 1 pair counting the stat/problem and giving context

End with some exit codes or equivalent usually. I currently like exiting good most of the time and setting a threshold toward a critical state in the template rather than the code for alerting, then Down for if the script actually doesnt work right.
