Closed Paid on delivery

Create a bash script that does the following:

1. Checks if a file exists. If it does exist, open it

2. For each line it finds, matching a certain format, perform an action based on the contents of that line (action is predefined, we have the code already)

3. Append "done" to that specific line after actions are performed

4. exit

- the script will be ran via cron job every minute

- the script should check if it's already running and prevent itself from running multiple instances simultaneously
