unix - c program sending error from DB to email - Shell Programming and Scripting

chino_52284 · #1 04-28-2005

hi,

i have a database table that automatically logs the errors in the database every 5 mins.

what i want to happen is to come up with a program using unix-c that gets all the information from the log table, i have a flag initially set to zero which means that the error is not yet sent, the flag will automatically be changed to 1 once the error is already sent.

i hope you can help me regarding this matter.
thank you so much!

you can also email me on this address:

Here is some thing to start with ...
Loop this for every 5 minutes.

Or setup cron to run every 5 minutes ...

Code:

grep "error string"  logfile
if test $? -eq 0
then
    flag=1
fi
