This shell script searches specified path for non-empty text files without empty line at the end.
The POSIX standard definition of line:
"3.206 Line
A sequence of zero or more non-<newline>characters plus a terminating<newline>character."

Why should text files end with a newline?
"Therefore, lines not ending in a newline character aren't considered actual lines. Some programs have problems processing the last line of a file if it isn't newline terminated. There's at least one hard advantage to this guideline when working on a terminal emulator: All Unix tools expect this convention and work with it."
