- This is my first posting, so please excuse any breaches of netiquette.
- I have a program that employs the following command :
-
- system("ls -l /path1/??/n???????.?? > /path2/upload.lst")
-
- to give me a list of upload file from different directories for processing.
- If there are no files present of this type, nothing needs to be done.
- However when the program runs and there are no files present I get an
- error message from the superuser saying the program was run and no files
- were found. Since program must be run many times throughout the day these
- messages pile up in my mailbox and have to be deleted.
-
- So my question is, is there any means of turning off this feature so I
- don't have to waste time deleting these messages?
-
- Thanking you in advance,
- Joe Del Medico
