KSH Script to watch log files for 2 strings
Hi all,

How can I do a ksh script to watch a log file for 2 specific alarms that have one this string : "Connection Error" and the other one: "Failure in sending". I would like to watch for these two alarms in the log and then if each of them repeats for about 30 times to go kill 2 processes.

Thanks,

I know some of ksh but I'm not yet used to it so I wrote this in bash. I hope you at least get the concept:
Code:
#!/bin/bash

LOGFILE=<path to logfile>

C0=$(fgrep -c 'Connection Error' "$LOGFILE")
F0=$(fgrep -c 'Failure in sending' "$LOGFILE")

function killProcs {
	...
}

while sleep 40s; do
	if
		C1=$(fgrep -c 'Connection Error' "$LOGFILE")
		(( C2 = C1 - C0, C0 = C1 ))
		[[ C2 -ge 30 ]]
	then
		killProcs
		# break?
	elif
		F1=$(fgrep -c 'Failure in sending' "$LOGFILE")
		(( F2 = F1 - F0, F0 = C1 ))
		[[ F2 -ge 30 ]]
	then
		killProcs
		# break?
	fi
done
