make a list of your files to process with the 'ls' command and read the filenames in as paramaters and have your script run through them in a while loop... like so:

(Toggle Plain Text)

#!/bin/sh


FILELIST='myfile.lst'

ls -lt | grep -v "unwanted_file" | awk '{print $9}' >> $FILELIST

LINES=`cat $FILELIST`

for i in $LINES
do
	./count.sh $i
        sleep 5
done

rm $FILELIST

echo "Complete."
