Hi
I am writing a script file which sends the log files along with their size in a folder named log to a file called temp.log using the following cmd:
ls -st 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026** >> /home/user/temp.log

the temp.log looks like this:
16 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_message070321.log
21 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_activity070321.log
10 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_error070321.log

now i need to write a script which checks for the error log file size inside the temp.log
ie., i need to check if the error log file(190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_error070321.log) size is zero or not from the file temp.log

is there any cmd to do the same?

any help is greatly appreciated
thanks in advance!!

Hi,

not sure whether I understood your problem properly...You can do something like this if u want to take out size and filename seperately ..

ls -st GSTV_error** >> /home/user/temp.log
cat temp.log | awk -F" " 'NR >1 {print "File "$2 " Size "$1 ;}'

or you can go for


while read line
do
{
file=$(echo $line| cut -f1)
size=$(echo $line| cut -f2)
echo "$file $size"
if [ "$file" = "something" -a $size -eq val ]
then

...do something..

fi
}
done <temp

Ok.Try something like below then...

ls -st >temp
while read line
do
{
file=$(echo $line| cut -f2 -d" ")
size=$(echo $line| cut -f1 -d" ")
if [ "$file" = "190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_error070321.log" -a $size -gt 0 ]
then
echo "$file and $size" #or do whatever you want to do with that..
fi
}
done <temp

ls -lst 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026** >> /home/user/temp.log

the temp.log looks like...

16 blah blah blah blah size 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_message070321.log
21 blah blah blah blah size 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_activity070321.log
10 blah blah blah blah size 190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_error070321.log


sixth column shows size of the file

check=`cat /home/user/temp.log | awk '{print $6}'`

Hi
many thanks for ur quick reply...
i am trying to do this:
ls -st 190_GSTV_HUX** >> /home/gaaadmin/GAAAdapter/gskgaa/test.log
cd ..
check=`awk 'NR == 6 {print $1}' test.log`

if [ $check -eq 0 ]
then
echo "noerror"
else
echo "error present"
fi

but the thing is this condition checks only for the first line in test.log which may or may not be the error log file ...
so my quwstion is how do we get it to check only for the filename which contains error...

hope i m not confusing you
thanks

If you just want to display those files with zero size,
go for this...

awk '{if ($1>0) {print "no errors in "$2; }else{ print "Error in "$2;}} temp.log

Or if you can use the below approch to tackle this..
while read line
do
{
file=$(echo $line| cut -f2 -d" ")
size=$(echo $line| cut -f1 -d" ")
if [ "$file" = "190_GSTV_HUX_003QISCGSK026_error070321.log" -a $size -gt 0 ]
then
echo "$file and $size" #or do whatever you want to do with that..
fi
}
done <temp
