Hello,

I am intending to perform a check based on number of "@" , present in a line in a log file . The idea is basically to perform a check on cc or bcc sender, based on an email log, which shows all the for email address. Say if the number of @ is more than 30, I will consider it as a mass emailer, then an email alert will be sent to a specified email address.



Highly appreciate any advice/little script on this.



Thank you

YMMV:

Hi,

Thank you, each one is great.


Now onto next riddle,


Email logs record time in the following example format.


day hour
### #####
2009-02-23 18:50:45
2009-02-23 14:12:19
2009-02-24 08:50:45



Even if I run a cron to check the log file every 5 min or 3 min, I might miss the last 3 or 5 mins, ( I if use time parameter in the script to check logs only for the current hour, say with date command ) , because the last part of time will contain ( say 9:00 , after 8:55 )


Any ideas how to use the system time, as well not missing any line in the log file for last 1 ( or look like check, every last 2 hours log is better ) due to time factor.

oh and the check for presence and number of "@" should be per line, and not as a whole file, and then if any particular line has "@" > 30 times , then an alert will be sent out

Hi krishmaths , vgersh99

Both of your script/oline show the counts or the number.


Can you propose something that will print the line number, the count of "@" 's present and the line itself in 3 colums

say,

line number count of @ present display the line
