Shell Programming and Scripting

Folks,

Need a script which searches for a string and send line containing the string to the mail.

The requirement is like this :

file abc.log containts below text :

"error occurred due to the code 3456 and kill the process to recover it"

1. search for string "3456" and send entire line "error occurred due to the code 3456 and kill the process to recover it" to my email id.

Any help !!!

Thanks

Code:

grep "3456" abc.log | mailx -s "Error" <emailid>

Slight modification: Adding word boundary...

Hello,

this will mail with subject error that's it and I need entire line containing the string and in mail i need the line to be displayed.

If you want line as subject:-

Code:

mailx -s "`grep -w 3456 abc.log`" <email> < /dev/null

below code will send the mail along with error attachment

Code:

 
grep -i '3456'  abc.log > error_line.txt

( cat error_line.txt; ) | mailx -s " ERROR"  'mailid'

This statement is not correct. Using this command you will simply get the content of this file as email body not as attachment.
