1. Script will be long polling every one hour during 24 hours and change this duration to 15 mins between the hours set by time variable t1 and t2. Eg : t1=0500 t2= 0730. Or t1= 1330 t2=1600 . 2. In a folder location set by variable “folderpath” , When script finds a file set by variable “completionfile” , parse this file and assign values to elements of array “keywords” . Elements will look like sciencecount , historycount, mathcount, etc. Format of parsed txt file will be something like this Sciencecount=5 Historycount=3 Mathcount=8 3. Script will now check in the folder if the there are same number of mp3 files as mentioned by all the variables and their name started with 1 and so on . Eg: In above case [login to view URL] , [login to view URL] , [login to view URL] , [login to view URL] , [login to view URL] Script will also check other mp3 files for which name will be the elements of an array “specialfiles” and elements will be reptiles for [login to view URL] , roadsafety for [login to view URL] . 4. If all files are available , run a Cmd file “[login to view URL]” and halt the long polling for next 16 hours. 5. If any of the file is not present , email to the email address set by variable “ EmailVO “ with content as name of missing files and subject as “ Missing files / Today date and day / current time” and set the script to long polling after 15 mins. ** Notes and comments within the script will be required.

I am an experienced Python developer and I have written some Perl code before. You have given clear instructions on what needs to be done and the format that you expect. I am confident I can implement the program. I will comment the code thoroughly and will make self available for any questions you have on how it works.

Thank You for the detailed description of the project. Your analysis and breakdown of the project is spot on except for the scheduling part. I would suggest a batch script that would dynamically set the windows scheduler to run the script as per your logic rather than have the Perl script always run in the background (this would cut down the resource utilization). If you are not much bothered about the hardware use, we can resort to leaving the scheduling also with the Perl Script. What makes me a good candidate for your project? I was working as an open source engineer for a major content publishing organization in the US for the past 4+ years. A significant portion of my work with them involved writing Perl scripts to automate tasks. Apart from my technical expertise, I am a punctual, responsible and honest programmer. I believe in transparency and you can expect me to send daily/milestone reports to you. I will communicate any major update/event immediately. I hope you find my offer and profile a compelling choice.
