I have a script that searches for specific information from log files.

#!/bin/sh
sed -n '/*C/,/END/p' /sn/log/OMlog* > crit.out
sed -n '/REPT INITIALIZATION/,/err:/p' /sn/log/OMlog* > switchcc.out
./start.awk /sn/log/OMlog* > ARs.out
./end.awk /sn/log/OMlog* > ARe.out
cat crit.out switchcc.out ARs.out ARe.out > Audit.out


ideally, it will create the files "crit.out" and "switchcc.out" with no entries in them and it does.
problem is that there is no indication in "Audit.out" that "crit.out" and "switchcc.out" were run without errors.
ideally, I would like something like "crit.out ran successfully" and a time stamp

any ideas would be appreciated,
Al

i rewrote the script adding a line and now it works the way I want it to:


#!/bin/sh
sed -n '/*C/,/END/p' /sn/log/OMlog* > crit.out
sed -n '/REPT INITIALIZATION/,/err:/p' /sn/log/OMlog* > switchcc.out
./start.awk /sn/log/OMlog* > ARs.out
./end.awk /sn/log/OMlog* > ARe.out
ls -l | awk '$5 < 1 {print $9," last successful "$6, $7," "$8" file size = 0"}'
> zero.out
cat zero.out crit.out switchcc.out ARs.out ARe.out > health.report.txt
